One very high eyebrow and a droopy eyelid. (Photo)

October 26, 2015
Asked By:jimmyjay in Irvine, CA

I've had a droopy eyelid since I was born. But It seems that the eyebrow has risen up really high as I age. These photos show the relaxed position on the top. Raising my brows in the middle. And pulling down on my brows in the bottom picture. The brows seem to get very close the same position other than in the relaxed position. Can this be fixed without major surgery to the eyebrow muscle?
