Right eyebrow and eyelid much saggier than my left - Would I benefit from surgery?

Question

My right eyebrow and eyelid (or maybe the skin between my eyelid and eyebrow?) is much saggier than my left. Would i benefit from surgery on one or both eyes and/or eyebrows? If so, what type of surgery?

Thank you for your question and photo. There are different options available for treating brow asymmetry, depending on what the underlying issue may be. If an overactive muscle is the cause, treatment with an injectable neuromodulator such as Botox may improve symmetry.
If the eye sockets or skin laxity cause a difference in brow alignment, a brow lift procedure may offer improvement, though absolute symmetry is difficult to achieve. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can assess your concerns and aesthetic goals.

It is impossible to see on this photo, a degree of your brows asymmetry? If significant, endoscopic brow lift with scar hidden in the hair may be an option. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in endoscopic brow lift, is recommended. Good luck.

Hi there! Brow asymmetry is not as uncommon as people may be led to believe. Options to try would be Botox to see if any lifting can occur laterally. This is often done in the crow's feet and can lead to mild elevation. If more substantial and permanent changes are desired, a brow lift, usually endoscopically, can be very effective. Most of the time, both brows are manipulated to ensure equal symmetry. The incisions heal nicely and symmetry can be improved. The results can be long-lasting and natural. Seek consultation with a facial plastic surgeon to ensure this is the correct procedure in your case. Hope that helps you!
