Lower

Eyebrow shaping can be accomplished chemically or surgically. However, it is very important to fully discuss your social issues with your family and local authorities (as needed).

I Want to Lower my Eyebrow to Achieve a More Masculine Effect Ex. Like in the Squinting Photo?

I agree with most of my colleagues that a cosmetic treatment such as Botox or procedure can be done but that it probably shouldn't be done. Based on the aesthetic ideals, your brow is slightly more arched than the male ideal (BTW, so are mine). Ideals are standards based on many peoples faces. What makes us unique are our own particular features. Your brows are your brows and while you may be fixating on them now, they are perfectly normal. I hope this information is helpful.

How to Achieve a Masculine Brow

The first thing to know is the ideal position and shape of a male brow. By these standards, your brow is slightly feminine. This is based upon the high position and arch of the relaxed brow. Your best bet is to try a bit of Botox in the forehead, which will lower the position and can be used to shape the brow. There is little long term risk.

You do not need surgery

Dear Hairbear323 The first thing that I noticed is that you seem to have taken this photo in a lying down position. THat tends to exaggerate the high position of your eyebrows.

Agree that your brow is very likely to get heavier as you get older.

Lowering brows

The safest and most conservative approach to lowering your brows would be to try Botox injection; however, I believe you are too young to do anything permanently to change the position or shape of your brows.

Change in brow position

Your brows actually look very natural and I would not recommend changing anything about them. As you get older you will see that brows will drop somewhat naturally. Plus you seem quite young for any cosmetic procedure anyway.
