What would be a permanent solution for asymmetrical eyebrows? Do you think a brow lift can help me? (Photo)

Question

Female, 23 yrs. With my last passport photo I've noticed that my eyebrows are very asymmetrical. I've considered botox since I'm wrinkling my forehead in the night too and I've been having heaches because of my muscles in that area. But I'm looking for a permanent solution. Do you think a brow lift can help me? I'm also considering foxy eye lift to lift the eyebrow and get a cateye canthal tilt. Currently I look like I'm sceptical all the time when i look norma

As we age, our eyelids naturally sag and droop. A combination approach would be best to see visible improvement. In terms of non-surgical treatment options, I would recommend a Chemical Brow Lift (using Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Jeuveau) and filler injections to rejuvenate the temples, eyebrow, eyelid, eye troughs, upper eye hollows, and forehead. I typically combine this with Ultherapy and thread lifting to lift the brow; RF and skin tightening laser treatments to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin; and laser or superficial RF devices for improvements in texture, color, and any crepey skin around the eyes as needed. In some cases, surgery is the best solution to achieve the desired results. See an expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer.​

Dear Aliicen,
Thank you for sharing your photos as it is very helpful for evaluation of your question. I suggest you start with a simple Botox treatment that can potentially address both the asymmetry and the headaches. However, it is important that you have an expert plastic surgeon who does both migraine management and aesthetics so that they can properly evaluate your needs vs your desires. Unilateral brow lift is certainly an option for brow asymmetry and something that I have done in select patients but only after careful consideration and ruling out other factors that can lead to this condition so please make sure you see a board certified plastic surgeon who performs both migraines and aesthetic surgery.

A brow lift can indeed help improve the symmetry of your eyebrows, but it’s important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a personalized assessment. They can evaluate your specific situation and discuss potential permanent solutions, which may include surgical options like brow lift, or non-surgical options like Botox injections for brow elevation. The choice will depend on the severity of the asymmetry and your overall goals.
