I have an asymmetry in my eyebrows. It's very severe when I smile. My right eyebrow goes up and my left drops down. They seem to move in opposite directions. A small part of the asymmetry is caused by me removing too much of my arch on the left eyebrow which makes it look lower. But most of it is due to my muscles. Looking at old pictures, I've always been asymmetrical, as I'm sure most people are. But it's recently gotten much harsher. Options? Botox? I want the eyebrow that goes down to go up.
