Whats up Doc, Is there a procedure to correct eyelids and lower eyebrows? To my knowledge there isn't, does anyone wanna design one? In the Netherlands nobody dares.

You can use BOTOX or Dysport to lower eyebrows

You do not appear to need eyebrow lowering from the photo you provided.

You appear to have congenital ptosis (droopiness) of both of your eyelids, and this is why you like your appearance better with your brows lowered.

Lower eyebrows

Yes, it is an unusual request but it can be done even endoscopically by releasing the fascia under the eyebrows which will allow them to drop. This is the reverse of an endoscopic browlift and part of my Minicision lift.
