Left eyebrow is lower than right - is there a non-surgical way to correct this? (photos)

Question

For a while I’ve been wanting to add a little more symmetry to my face. My main concern is my left inner eyebrow towards the nose seems to go lower than my right by quite a bit, that it changes the look of my gaze. I am wondering if it’s a brow lift that I’m looking for and if it’s only need on that one side? Is there a way to achieve this non-surgically or is a procedure the only remedy and is there an estimated cost? I believe sleeping on my left side too much might have caused this.

Thank you for your question. It appears you may have ptosis (or drooping) of your left upper eyelid. I recommend consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon for an in-person examination to better assess. Best of luck!

To give the eyebrows a nice lift, we use injectable fillers to improve the eyebrow, upper eye, forehead and temple. A filler is placed on the bone and in the fat pads of these areas to contour and lift without it looking overdone. We use cannulas to limit pain and swelling. I suggest getting a formal consultation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Your eyebrows are asymmetric because you have asymmetric ptosis (droop). Your higher eyebrow is being pulled up in an attempt to open the eyelid further. You need to see a plastic or ophthalmic plastic surgeon who understands and regularly treats ptosis.
