How to correct facial asymmetry

Depending on the severity of the asymmetry, the best answer may be to do nothing. We are often our own worst enemy, as we look at ourselves with a much more critical eye than we look at others around us. As a facial plastic surgeon, it is my job to notice the asymmetries which are present in every face. Generally, it is not worth pursuing aggressive treatments to correct the minor asymmetries which everyone has. If you are a model, I would wager that your degree of... more

Botox for Asymetric Eye Brows

I have used Botox in many patients who had asymmetry of eyebrows, particularly after strokes or hemiparalysis. It works great. Injection can be made in the forehead to slight relax the brow. Injections can also be made on the lateral eyebrow area to lift the brow. HOWEVER, before you do anything, you must realize that there is asymmetry in everyone and it is normal. So, before you do anything, I would have a professional look at you and see if its worth it. Sometimes doing nothing is better... more

Eyebrows

Everyone has some asymmetric in their eyebrows so it sometimes it is not needed to adjust your eyebrows. If you are already getting modeling jobs with the way your eyebrows look now maybe you should stick with the unique look.

Botox for asymmetry of the eyebrows

Before you have Botox done in the forehead or under the tail of the eyebrow to adjust the height of one eyebrow, realize that the result could be a bigger shift than you want and it might be more noticable than the preexisting subtle difference from side to side.  If you are unhappy with the unequalness that could result from the correction of your asymmetry, you will have to wait three to four months for it to correct itself and it may ruin your modeling. see video

Natural brow asymmetry may be an asset to a 17 year old male model!

Before you go "correcting" your natural asymmetry (everyone is a little asymmetric), why not ask your agent and some photographers if they think becoming more symmetrical would be an asset for your career? It's possible you are extremely attractive and that your natural asymmetry gives you a slight edge that makes you interesting to the camera and to your clients. Being a slave to Botox every three months for the rest of your career, and possibly not being able to make an... more

Asymmetric eyebrow correction options

Dear Xcyte, In general, brow asymmetry can be dealt with through surgery or Botox. With surgery (a brow lift), we are raising the lower brow to match the higher brow. With Botox, we are lowering the higher brow to match the lower brow. At your age, I would NOT recommend a brow lift procedure. A small amount of Botox would likely be your best choice. Depending on the appearance, both sides or just one side may be injected. Start with a lower dose; there is no magical formula... more

Asymmetric Eyebrows

If you're already modeling, it is unlikely the asymmetry is severe. Make sure you discuss this with your photographers and manager before changing anything. Botox can provide temporary improvement. A unilateral brow lift is a more permanent solution.

How to correct assymetric brows

The whole face forms from two separate halves during development, leaving us all with minor differences between the two sides. There is one muscle that raises the eyebrows. Since the tone and activity of this muscle play a big role in the position of the brow, Botulinum injection can play a role in balancing out the asymmetry.  Correcting facial asymmetries with botulinum toxin requires a well developed sense of beauty and artistry on behalf of the surgeon. The goal is... more
