I had an accident 7 years back in which i sustained injuries around my right eye....i have a scar below my right eyebrow and it is also permanently raised since the accident....i also feel some kind of tightness in my right forehead skin, can this be corrected so that my eyebrow symmetry comes back and the scar is minimised....i am attaching a photo of mine......thank you
Answer: Is the brow higher? Or is the lid lower? It is difficult to say whether the scarring is actually related to the brow height itself. You actually may have traumatized the lid muscles during the injury, causing a ptosis (or drooping) or the upper lid, and the brow may be higher as it is trying to compensate for the lid droop. In this case, the treatment might involve surgically addressing the lid ptosis (ie, fixing the lid might allow the brow height to normalize) and the scar revision would be a completely separate issue.This of course is all speculative and a thorough in-person exam would be necessary to determine the underlying issues and the best course of treatment, surgical or not. I would advise you see an experienced oculoplastic surgeon for a formal evaluation and to discuss your situation. Best of luck.

Answer: Brow It would seem that excising some of the scar tissue below the brow, the brow should come down. You would have to be evaluated in person.
