I'm a 22 year old women who has had a problem with asymmetrical eyebrows for as long as I can remember. It's minor (I've never had anyone comment on it specifically) but it's really noticiable to me, especially when I haven't had enough sleep - then one of my eyelids sags slightly making my eyebrows/eyes look off balance. I've heard the Titan Laser can tighten skin but is it a realistic option for me being so young? And is it a good option for a minor non-invasive brow lift?

Uneven slightly drooping brow

Asymmetrical Eyebrows

As all other posters have suggested, submittng pictures would be very helpful in evaluating your asymmetry and suggesting possible treatment. Botox injections will provide an opportunity to see what can be achieved with temporary elevation of one brow.

Asymmetrical drooping brow solutions

Without seeing a photo of you, it's hard to say for sure what would be best for you, but some elevation of the brow is usually possible with Botox so I might suggest this as a first trial procedure. Other treatments, most likely including surgery, should be considered by you and your surgeon together—particularly in view of your age. Your brow ptosis may increase with aging as could the sag of your eyelid so if nothing else a high quality photograph at this time does document... more

Droopy brows and droopy eyelids

You point out an important relationship between the eyelids and brows. Without seeing or examining your face, it is difficult to identify the problem and options. However, in many patients who think they have a drooping brow, the problem may, in fact be with a drooping upper eyelid, on the opposite side. A small amount of eyelid ptosis (drooping) may cause the brow on the same side to elevate -- as a normal physiologic compensatory response...the brain may just try to help that eye see. This more

Minor Brow ptosis and its management with Botulinum Toxin

I would agree with Dr. Shafer when it comes to management of minor bw ptosis, I would consider contralateral use of Botulinum toxin.

Brow Asymmetry

If you have slight brow asymmetry then I would suggest Botox Cosmetic treatment to help even out the level of the brows. This would be the least invasive but very effective method. You could have a brow lift, but this may be excessive. If you post pictures, we may be able to give you more specific advice. Good luck.
