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?.

A: 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.
