Can a Male's Femininely Aligned Eyebrows Be Fixed?

I'm a male with naturally feminine-aligned brows, can this be corrected? My eyebrows are angled towards the center of the top of my nose. Is there a way to raise them at that part of the face only?. Don't need a Facelift or Eyelid recondstruction; just a very slight raise at the center of my eyebrows without raising the outer part. Thank you.

Brow position

Without seeing photographs or performing an exam on you, it is very difficult to offer any suggestions.

Can the shape of brows be altered?

When brows are "too high", one method of lowering them temporarily is by using one of the injectable neurotoxins (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin) using small droplets very carefully placed above the part of the brow to be lowered. When brows are "too low", then sometimes the same drugs can help raise the brows by injecting strategically into muscles that depress the brow, allowing the elevators to raise the brow. For example it the outer brow is too high (a 'feminine' trait) this could be... more

Male's Femininely Aligned Eyebrows

While there are options to provide a more masculine appearance, you will need to either post some photos or have in person consultations to provide a basis for a solid recommendation. Best if you consult with 2 - 3 board certified plastic surgeons in your are.

More Masculine Appearance for Eyebrows through Browlifting

Yes, there are several options for providing a more masculine appearance to the eyebrows. The most common is with a selective browlift, in which certain portions of the brow(s) are targeted for elevating. The alternative, less common is with hair grafting, in which more hairs are placed into the eyebrow to create the desired appearance.

Yes

The male eyebrow has virtually a straight horizontal angle, i.e. 0 degrees from its most medial point to its most lateral point with a gentle curve over the orbital rim. An endoscopic brow lift would not be quite specific for what you need. I think an internal brow fixation through an upper lid incision would allow precise points of fixation and a better outcome.

Male with naturally feminine-aligned brows

There is a set of three muscles in the central part of the brow (the procerus, with a vertical axis of contraction in the space between the brows right above the root of the nose; and the corrugators, with a diagonal axis of contraction going from the medial end of the brow towards the root of the nose) which bring the central brow down. They are overractive relative to the muscle that elevates the brow (Frontalis muscle). An endoscopic division of these muscles only will cause a... more

Probably, yes.

Hi! Hard to tell without actually examining you, but a modified endoscopic brow lift (which is essentially scarless) may well accomplish what you want, which is flatter straighter eyebrows.

Eyebrow alignment

K, From your description, it sounds as though you have some unwanted arching of your eyebrows. It is accepted in aesthetics that the male brow is, and should be more flattened compared to the female arched brow. To raise the medial brow some Botox can be injected into the medial brow depressor muscles. See a qualified physician who is well experienced with chemodenervation and brow aesthetics. Good luck!

Botox or fillers can be used for subtle eyebrow adjustment

I would probably start with a little botox above the lateral brows to subtly lower this area, achieving a more masculine look, given youe explanation. Fillers would be another option.
