Tags: asymmetry, options, uneven

Hi, I am wondering what options I have for my uneven eyebrows. My left eyebrow is a lot higher than my right eyebrow, and when I'm tired my right eyebrow tends to droop even more. The reason why it bothers me is because it completely changes my facial expressions. I have tried stimulating the muscles, massages, make-up etc but its not helping. Thank u in advance!

Brow asymmetry

Ideally you should be examined to find out the cause. There are a few possibilities for your level of asymmetry: You have eyelid ptosis on the right side and your brow is compensating for that You have poor elevation of your left brow, possible due to a malfunctioning nerve You have significant skeletal (bony) asymmetry of your face

Asymmetric brow may be functional or anatomic

The frontalis muscle is innervated on both sides (dual innervation) so it can raise the eyebrows asymmetrically. An individual might engage the muscle in this way subconsciously. A trial of botox on the high side will solve the problem. If the eyebrows are anatomically positioned at a different height, the problem is more difficult. Even with surgery, it's not always possible to get exact symmetry.

Whether it is because of facial asymmetry or not would need to be looked at, but a great quick fix would be to put a few units of botox to lower the brow on the right side which could in essence train your brain to stop holding th eright brow up eventually.

How to improve uneven brow position.

Thanks for the interesting question and including photos. You are young, and your open eyelid positions look symmetrical. I would want to know if you have ever had facial surgery or injury in the right temple area, as the frontal branch of the facial nerve that controls the forehead muscle could have been partially damaged, resulting in decreased frontalis muscle tone on your right side. Has your right brow ALWAYS looked this way, or is this more recent? If recent and not associated with... more
