Uneven Brows after Botox is easy to Correct
This can happen and is easy to fix with a little more Botox injected into the area above the brow that is slightly elevated.

Uneven brows after Botox
Greetings~
If your primary goal is symmetry, it is very easy to inject a small amount of Botox over the brow that is too high or arched and make it look more similar to the other brow. You may be able to get a bit more elevation on the lower side but your chances for a more even result are better if you are okay with bringing the higher brow down. Follow up with the office that injected you and they should be able to advise you on your options or best course of action...

Botox can be used to treat a raised eyebrow
This has not been an unusual question posed on this website. If the middle forehead is treated with Botox, the outer forehead sometimes overcompensates and tries to pull up the eyebrows because the middle/glabella can't any longer. Usually this is improved by placing just a couple of units in the correct location to minimize the pulling of the outer eyebrow. Care is taken so as not to inject the botox too low near the eyebrow.

Botox did not raise eyebrow!
Botox paralyzes muscles and does not strengthen them, so what actually happened is too much Botox in the forehead above the brow that does NOT raise, or perhaps too much Botox in the muscles below the high brow (perhaps to reduce crows feet).
A little Botox in the forehead above the high brow will relax the frontalis muscle that is pulling the brow upwards, and will let it drop. As others have stated, this will eliminate the ability for you to selectively raise your eyebrows in surprise...

Botox - Correction of unilateral 'Spock Eyebrow'.
Assymetry of eyebrows is probably one of the most common complaints that is addressed in the post procedure follow up. Correction usually requires just 1-2 units of Botox placed above the raised eyebrow to lower it. Sometimes 2-3 units of Botox can be placed just below the lower eyebrow to give a unilateral brow lift to raise it slightly. Asymmetric brow activity occurs due to inadvertent over treatment or low injection on the side of the lower brow or...

Asymmetry in Eyebrow can be Corrected
Thanks for your question.
As you probably know, Botulinum toxin A works by selectively relaxing muscles, and thus, muscles that have not been targeted will continue to be active. From your photo, it looks like the left lateral forehead muscle is more active than the right, and the solution is simple... inject a bit more botox, say 1 unit, in this area.

Brow assymetry after Botox
Brow assymetry can happen after Botox injection, and this can be corrected by placing a bit of additional Botox to balance out the muscles.

Botox and eyebrow symmetry
The eyebrow that is elevated higher then the other brow can be made symetric with a few units of Botox Injection above that brow. However if the lower brow is to low and you don't want the other brow that low then you will have to wait for the Botox to wear out in about three months. In simple terms you cannot elevate the lower brow to match however you can lower the higher brow. Make sure you go in and see your surgeon so he/she may properly mark this asymmetry for future reference....

Forehead asymmetry after Botox
When the eyebrows are asymmetric after Botox, correction is possible by weakening the muscles above the higher eyebrow. Often this just takes 1-2 units. There is no way to lift the lower eyebrow with Botox. If the lower side is too low the only thing to do is to wait for the Botox to wear off and make sure your doctor injects higher on the forehead next time.

Uneven brow after Botox.
This is not uncommon. If the injection was more then a week ago it can easily be adjusted with a little Botox above the higher brow.
