Eyebrows dropped after unilateral upper bleph & ptosis repair (1 year after). What are my options?

My eyebrows are more furrowed and somewhat more gaunt as a result of my frontalis muscles relaxing. I look somewhat angry or tense now. There may be a reduction of the frontalis muscles as well. What would be a good option for me to restore the height I had before? I imagine somekind of lift or botox, but I would want to risk any more muscle atrophying. Sorry I prefer not to post pictures at the moment. I m a male, 39. Thanks

However, it is far too early to consider revisional surgery. Your best hope to make this right is to find the right surgeon for the revision. The crease is too high. The shape of the upper eyelid is not right. It also appears that the lateral canthus is disinserted. This issues need to be...

You just happen to have one eyelid that is heavier than the other (common) and on that side your eyebrow is higher to compensate. Ptosis surgery corrects the eyelid margin position and will allow the compensatory eyebrow...
