One eyebrow is noticeably higher than the other? Is there a no surgical fix?

Question

Hi everyone, one of my eyebrows is much higher than the other. The lower eye is also much more hooded (which is most obvious to me when I try to do my makeup). Is there an easy non surgical fix to this? Thank you!

One of my favorite uses of Botox is using it to improve facial asymmetries. In the hands of an experienced injector, Botox can be used to "turn off" certain muscles of the face, and allow the opposing muscle to exert more "pull." This is particularily useful in patients who have developed asymmetries from facial nerve injury.

Great question!
The main options for your issue would likely be botox (non-surgical) or brow lift/blepharoplasty (surgical). There are certainly alot of nuances to these options which would best be addressed during a consultation with a plastic surgeon. 
Hope this helps!

Botox may be used to improve symmetry. It can take up to 2 weeks for final results. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Hope this helps.

Hello anonA Brow Lift (also known as a Forehead Lift or an Upper Face Lift) is a surgical procedure designed to lift the brow and eliminate wrinkles on the forehead. People with droopy or sagging brows can have a sad, angry, or tired appearance; a brow lift can make that person look more happy and energetic.

Brow asymmetry is very common. Asymmetry can often be improved using Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin. These neuromodulators are temporary, lasting for approximately three to four months. In some cases, there may be permanent surgical options to improve asymmetry. Be sure to always see an expert physician who specializes in facial aesthetic procedures.All the best,

The correction of te asymmetry can be done by surgical and also none surgical procedures.  The non surgical is by Botox and  or fillers and the surgical by a Brow lift.

Thank you for your question. Botox can address the slight asymmetry in your eyebrows. Keep in mind that nobody has a perfectly symmetrical face and even with surgery, a perfectly symmetrical face cannot be achieved. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to discuss your candidacy for the options.
Best wishes,

Botox may be able to improve your brow symmetry somewhat.  In my hands the best solution is to reposition the brows surgically with an endoscopic lift, especially since you are noticing some eyelid hooding on the right.

Your eyebrow on the right side in the photograph is slightly higher than the right. I observe this quite frequently. Dysport or Botox treatments can be utilized to improve this imbalance.
