Brow Assymmetry

Steven H. Schuster, MD answers: Can asymmetric eyes or eyebrows be fixed?

I am interested in fixing my asymmetrical eyes. One of my brows sits noticeably lower and that same eye looks much smaller than the other eye/eyebrow. Is this a problem that can be fixed to create a more balanced, symmetrical set of eyes for myself? I am a young woman in her twenties, not an older person so I am not sure what type of surgery would be best, but I plan on consulting soon. Thank you!

Depending upon the type of asymmetry  a brow lift can fix or improve it.  This can be done with an open approach or an endoscopic one depending upon the extent of the difference and your surgeons personal expertise.  I have found that on rare occasions a unilateral or one sided brow lift wil help, but this was more with a Bell's palsy or paralysis type procedure.  Occasionally, Botox can improve asymmetry very nicely but this is only temporary.

Your evaluation by a plastic surgeon, facial plastic surgeon, or oculoplastic surgeon is most important in determining what type of procedure to perform and how successful it will be. I wish you good luck in finding the right surgeon.
