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.
This is absolutely possible but almost never indicated. most peole benefit from lateral elevation but medial elevation almost always will result in a perplexed or surprised look. you need to be evaluated by a plastic and reconstructive surgeon who is well versed in periorbital aesthetics. Be very careful with making changes to your medial brow as medial brow separation and elevation are difficult to correct.

What are the most likely desirable outcomes of a brow lift when I'm really only trying to minimize frown lines? How often does the procedure need to be repeated?
A brow lift is not necessarily the best procedure for frown lines, which are also known as glabellar and forehead rhytids. Botox and dysport work well for these. A brow lift, unless lateral, does very little for crows feet and botox and dysport can be used for these too.
My husband is in his late 30s and has severe wrinkles around his eyes and forehead. He is very expressive and his wrinkles are getting bad so quickly.
He has done Botox and it helps, but it is very expensive for him. They use so much with him that it is usually around $500-700 and only last a few months.
We just can't afford to that 3x a year plus some of the other stuff he is doing. Is there a more permanent option that he could be working toward (Blepharoplasty and Forehead lift) or is just Botox?
Be very careful when asking for a brow lift, you might get it. If you look up brow lift results in published papers and before and afters you will see that many surgeons successfully lift the brow. Unfortunately a true brow lift makes patients look scared or surprised! It is almost never necessary to elevate the medial third of the brow. Many women actually benefit aesthetically from a slight lowering of the medial third. On the contrary, there are few women even at your age that would not benefit from elevation of their lateral brow. The reason for this is probably not what you think. Much more important than the brow positionand shape is the infra brow skin. If you look at yourself in the mirror you will see some bunching of skin under the brow next to your eye and a flat shape. I call this the lateral hood. The only kind of brow lift that I typically perform I call a lateral hood lift. If you gently pull up on your forehead skin above the lateral brow, you will see that a very subtle elevation makes you look younger. This is mostly because it cleans up the lateral hood. It is usually necessary to also restore brow volume at the same time as a lateral hood lift to create a beautiful rejuvenated shape. I hope this helps!
