Is There an Option To Raise Just The Inner Corners During a Brow Lift?

I dislike the angle of my eyebrows. They're lower at the inner corners, and when I relax my forehead make me look angry. I'm young, so this isn't a problem of sagging. Is there any way I can raise only the inner parts of my eyebrows without lifting my entire forehead? I prefer a more smooth/flat/angling downwards kind of look.

A: raising inner portions of brows

It is certainly possible and relatively easy  to do this. However, it is unclear how much you might want the change to be. As a matter of fact, we often try not to have this change with the average aging brow that sags more at the sides. It would help if we could see pictures.

How Can I Permanetly Lower my One Eyebrow to Acheive Symmetry As Opposed to Raising the Opposite Eyebrow? (photo)

Okay so all my life i've wondered why I look good in some photos and really bad in others, until just in this past year I finally clued in that my eyebrows are significantly assymetrical which has really been effected my self-confidence. Anyways, the problem is that my "good side" is the side with the lower eyebrow, and I would do anything to get my other eyebrow to rest the same way. I'm looking for a permanent solution. I've heard about a reverse brow lift but I don't know much about it or how

A: reverse unilateral brow lift

Most reverse brow lifts have been done for those patients whose brows were too high after surgery. By reversing the steps of an endoscopic brow lift the brows can be restored to close to  their original position. A unilateral brow lowering on a previously non-operated brow may be possible , but I have not done one. Perhaps another surgeon will have a positive past experience.

You might consider first .having Botox injected above the brow to relax the elevating muscles causing trhe depressors of the brow to be more dominent. Of course this is not permanent.

Can a Coronal Browlift Be Reversed?

I had a coronal browlift done about a year ago. I know it is more invasive and the old timey way but can it be reversed? The reason why i chose this as opposed to endoscopic is because i wanted a bigger forehead. Only problem now is that my brows are too high.

A: reversing a brow lift

Time and maybe massage should result in some lowering of the brows . There are ways to reverse a coronal brow lift depending on the degree of residual scalp laxity behind the scar. Tissue expansion of the anterior scalp and forehead could give the necessary loosenes to allow  the brows to come down. The approach would have to be out of the routine and a bit creative if the need is so great to lower the brows.

I have reversed a number of endoscopic brow lifts which is relatively easy  as most of the scalp tissue remains albeit repositioned. The endoscopic brow lift can result in a bigger forehead also.
