Asymmetric/uneven Eyebrows and Eyelid

Just wondering what options I have for my eyebrow and eyelid. Ideally, I'd like to match my left (your right) eyelid and eyebrow, as I like showing more lid and prefer the more arched brow. What are my longterm and short-term options? And yes, I've tried compensating with makeup but it's a pain in the butt! :) Thanks in advance!

Asymmetric eyelids and brows

Luckily, you included a photo without which all of us would just be guessing. I definitely agree that your left brow is higher because you are unconsciously correcting for a subtle ptosis left upper lid. You need to see an oculofacial specialist for further evaluation and treatment.

It looks like you have ptosis of the left eye

According to this photograph of the arched lid, it looks like you have ptosis of the left eye and are compensating for this by lifting the brows. You really need to go to an oculofacial plastic surgeon to see if there is a droopy lid. If you fix the droopy lid, the brow will come down by itself without another procedure. It’s really important to go to a specialist who can treat ptosis.

Assymetry to brows

The easiest way to correct this would be dysport or botox injections.you can ntitrate it and it should give a nice temporary lift.

Asymmetric/uneven Eyebrows and Eyelid

Your left upper eyelid is droopy, and very likely your left eyebrow is elevating to try to compensate for the droopy lid and lift the left upper eyelid more. If you fix the droopy eyelid, then often the eyebrow issue will resolve itself. Sometimes after eyelid surgery, one or more treatments with Botox are necessary to retrain the eyebrow. Consult an Oculoplastic surgeon to evaluate your ptosis (droopy eyelid).

Eyelid ptosis and brow compensation

Hi. Your left brow is higher because your left upper eyelid is slightly droopy, so your brow is compensating and trying to raise your eyelid, thereby the brow is higher. The solution is not brow surgery but rather left upper lid ptosis surgery. There may be also component of bony facial asymmetry contributing to brow asymmetry. Consult an oculoplastic surgeon.

Asymmetric/uneven Eyebrows and Eyelid

Great posted photo. Try Botox first to see if the asymmetry can be corrected easily. If yes than 3 times a year an office Botox injection can be done. If you desire a more permanent solution than a surgery that elevates the right eyebrow is the choice.

Asymmetry of eyelids and eyebrow

There are many many reasons eyes and brows are not symmetrical. Each reason has a different treatment. In young patients with one eyebrow raised, who don't have a significant difference in the "set " and position of the eyes within the eye bone, who don't really need surgery yet, it may be best to try Botox. Botox can be used to relax muscles that are hyperactive and give a much more symmetrical appearance within 48 hours. When it comes time... more

Brow Asymmetry

At your age, Botox to elevate the right brow and a filler just below the brow along the bone is all you need even if it is temporaray.

Low right eyebrow.

The best way to correct this is with a slight forehead lift on the right. This requires only a few days recovery and will be cheaper and give a better result than Botox.

Arch

You pose a very challenging problem. In general it is very difficult to try to make asymetrical issues equal. Because of the high arch in the central eye brow you might try Botox or Dysport in that area. That is a location that is often incorrectly injected resulting in an unwanted arch.

Eyebrow Symmetry

At your age and for the minor difference / correction that you are looking for I would suggest a combination of Botox Cosmetic and Juvederm Ultra Plus XC. The Botox can be used in the crows feet to help raise the tail of the lower brow on your right. The Juvederm can then be injected in the middle portion of the lower brow to help raise it. You may also need some Botox and Juvederm injected on your left side to help with symmetry. Good Luck. more

Treatment for uneven eyebrows

Looking at your photo, the first thought I have is to determine if there is an underlying reason you're elevating one brow and not the other. The most common reason would be a droop of the left upper lid that forces you to compensate by raising your brow on that side. That would best be treated by surgery to lift the lid. If indeed there is no identifiable reason for the asymmetry and you simply want to minimize the difference, I would suggest the use of a neurotoxin such... more

Brow sculpting with Botox

Short/long term brow sculpting and improving symmetry can be achieved with the correct placement and dosage of Botox/Dysport. A Browlift is also an option. Do your research and find a cosmetic surgeon in your area skilled in the brow/eyelid area. Good luck!
