I have noticed my brow over my right eye being lower than my left and the hood of my eye becoming lower for some time now. But recently it's gotten much more noticeable and consistent and now it's at the point that it irritates my eye and disturbs my vision. I sometimes cross my eyes when I'm trying to see something up close. I'm 40 years old. Causes? Possible solution?
Answer: Asymmetric Eye Brows if you ever see one side of your face get weaker or change, you should get assessed by a physician (your family physician to start). Once you do that, and assuming everything is ok, there are some good options to help.I posted a link below with a discussion on the eyebrows and forehead. Dr Bonaparte

Answer: Reasons for drooping brow and brow bone skin on one side of the face? Thank you for your question and photographs. Dropping of the brow and increased upper eyelid skin can all be a part of the normal aging process. It would be important to be evaluated thoroughly by a board certified plastic surgeon who can diagnose the cause and offer treatment options, such as a chemical brow lift using botox, a surgical brow lift or an upper eyelid lift.

Answer: Assymetric brows not that unusual and can be treated by Botox Having an assymetric or not matching brow is not unusual. I see it commonly.Yours could be treated by Botox. Botox relaxes muscles and by treating the muscles around the lateral eye (crows feet) lifts the brow. Alternatively, a little can be placed above the side that is higher to lower it. Sometimes a combination of both. It depends what the patient wants to achieve and sometimes a touch up is neededThe crossing your eyes to see something up close is aging of the eye and not related to the brow droop. You may need bifocals, and the squinting to see up close is a frequent sign of that. I would recommend an eye examination.The other option for assymetric brows is a brow lift. A mini brow lift can lift the lateral aspect without giving the surprised look.See a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation. For the up close squinting see an opthamologist.

Answer: Options for drooping brow on one side of face? Hello, thank you for your question as well as including a photo. I do agree that you should be evaluated by a physician to make sure nothing serious is going on. There is a non-surgical, more long term procedure that you can have done on the brow that is drooping. It is called Ultherapy. Ultherapy is FDA approved for a brow lift and it has been very successful. Ultherapy is Ultrasound, just like used for imaging, but when ultrasound waves cross, it creates friction, and friction creates heat. Basically tiny thermal (heat) injuries are laid under the skin at dual depths, and your body's natural response to an injury is to "build collagen" to repair. This collagen building process causes the skin to lift in the treated area. You can learn more about this procedure and locate a provider in your area by referencing the web link below.Good Luck!
