Hello my left eyebrow & eyelid is higher and open than my right eyebrow & eyelid. My right eyebrow and eyelid seem to be uneven and droop. I can raise/arch my left eyebrow using facial muscles but I can not raise my right eyebrow. I have had this problem for a few years and i think i can recall getting botox in eyebrow before a few years ago. What are my options to fix this? Thank you in advance
Answer: Brow asymmetry It is unusual that you can't elevate your right brow. Has this always been the case? Surgery in the past that might have damaged a nerve? You need a good consultation with an oculoplastic surgeon who can evaluate both the brow and forehead muscles. If you relax your left brow, it will be interesting to see if your lid drops. You may be trying to lift your lid by elevating the brow. Some Botox on that left side would help to drop the brow if all else seems ok.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Drooping and uneven eyelids and brows Brow asymmetry is quite common, but there are many different potential causes for this problem, including nerve weakness or injury, eyelid malposition, or simple facial asymmetry. In many cases, Botox can be used to improve the brow asymmetry. In some cases, brow lifting techniques can be helpful, but most brow lifting techniques do not help very much with improving asymmetry.Photographs alone are inadequate in this scenario, so I would recommend seeing a facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon who specializes in facial aesthetics for a formal evaluation. All the best,

Answer: Eyebrow asymmetry It does appear that your left upper lid is a bit lower than the right. Your left brow may represent an effort to compensate for the low position of the eyelid. There is a simple and straightforward test that can be performed in the office which can help determine whether correcting the eyelid position and will help the brow assume a more symmetric appearance. These issues can be complex and I do recommend evaluation by an oculoplastic surgeon who also has a strong interest in aesthetics. While surgery may be an option, a nonsurgical approach using Botox may be an option as well.

Answer: Higher eyebrow from droopy upper eyelid (ptosis) The problem is actually your stems from your left upper eyelid being droopy (ptosis). That in effect causes the brow on that side to go up since the forehead is trying extra hard to lift the droopier eyelid. The symmetry can be improved by left upper eyelid ptosis surgery. Of course, you need to be examined to determine this. See an oculoplastic surgeon.
