Just wondering what options I have for my eyebrow and eyelid. Ideally, I'd like to match my left (your right) eyelid and eyebrow, as I like showing more lid and prefer the more arched brow. What are my longterm and short-term options? And yes, I've tried compensating with makeup but it's a pain in the butt! :) Thanks in advance!

Answer: Eyelid ptosis and brow compensation
Hi. Your left brow is higher because your left upper eyelid is slightly droopy, so your brow is compensating and trying to raise your eyelid, thereby the brow is higher. The solution is not brow surgery but rather left upper lid ptosis surgery. There may be also component of bony facial asymmetry contributing to brow asymmetry. Consult an oculoplastic surgeon.

Answer: Asymmetry of eyelids and eyebrow
There are many many reasons eyes and brows are not symmetrical. Each reason has a different treatment.
In young patients with one eyebrow raised, who don't have a significant difference in the "set " and position of the eyes within the eye bone, who don't really need surgery yet, it may be best to try Botox. Botox can be used to relax muscles that are hyperactive and give a much more symmetrical appearance within 48 hours.
When it comes time for surgery because aging of the eyes has occurred, it is often possible to minimize the asymmetries of the eyes.
