Facial hairline/brow/eyelid and more asymmetry-let's come up with a plan. Thoughts, advice?

Question

My face has a lot of asymmetry that has bothered me forever. The left side is generally longer and more widely spaced. I feel like my scalp and face were put on crooked when I was being formed, even my ears are asymmetrical. I don’t know if it’s just the soft tissues or the actual bone. I have a list of priorities but am limited to 500 characters here. 1.hairline2.eyebrow shape& position

Hairline lowering vs Hair Transplants for the high hairline in the female. Hairline lowering with the Irregular Trichophytic Hairline Lowering procedure [which I developed 45 years ago] I feel is the gold standard for Forehead Reduction! If properly done it will NOT leave a noticeable scar, and have natural density, no texture change, and be immediate. Hair transplants will ultimately cost more, have a texture change and take at least a year or more to grow to 1-2 inches and often take multiple sessions. If your scalp is very tight you may need a tissue expander to lower your hairline. Make sure you see the actual hairline with the hair combed away. A Browlift can be easily combined with a Forehead Reduction. Your lower blepharoplasty can be done as well along with any other  procedures after an examination.

You do have facial asymmetry, as most people do. As far as your hairline goes, you are a good candidate for a trichophytic hairline lowering procedure. It is also possible to try to lower the left eyebrow at the same time to improve the eyebrow asymmetry, but its probably easier to lift the right brow a few millimeters to match the left side. Good luck

William Portuese, MD · Answer

Your eyebrow position appears normal, so a brow lift would be unnecessary.   Botox can address some asymmetry. Consider a lower blepharoplasty procedure to address the bags in your lower lids. Hair Transplants  to the scalp can help address the asymmetries in the forehead area.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

The hairline can easily be balanced with a hair transplant bringing down the left hairline to match the right side. See a facial plastic surgeon for other opinions
