Droopy Eyelids Causing Higher Eyebrows? How to Fix It? (photo)

The sensation of extra eyelid skin on the eyelid can cause increased activity of the frontalis muscle, the muscle that raises the eyebrows.  When this occurs the eyebrows will be raised and in some individuals horizontal lines created on the forehead.  You are correct that often treating this skin excess can allow the frontalis muscle to relax and the brows to descend.   In my opinion from the limited photo and lacking an exam, this does not appear to be the case in your situation.  You do not demonstrate significant eyelid skin excess and therefore blepharoplasty would not provide this benefit to you.

Thank you for your question and photo.  Your condition is quite common. The muscular attachements that lift your left eyelid have been stretched or torn. Either mechanically from contacts, congenitally, or from normal aging.  This leads to the high lid crease and more lid show on the left and lower position of the left eyelid. When the eyelid starts covering your pupils your forehead muscles contract to help raise your eyelid causing your eyebrow to be higher on the affected side. Correction of the eyelid ptosis should help both problems. All the best.

You should see an oculoplastic surgeon in your area as it appears like you may have ptosis of your eyelids.  In response to droopy lids, your brow is trying to compensate by elevating.  Treating your ptosis may help you brow position.  Make sure you see a board certified surgeon.

Best,
