Asymmetrical eyebrows. Is there any way to raise the lower one? (Photo)

Question

I look like I'm angry all the time when I don't have my eyebrows raised and if I raise them a little they become extremely assymetrical, as they already are. Is there anyway to raise the lower one? I'm 14 and it's sort of weird and throws off my face.

Thank you for your question.  Many times, it is not your brow, but actually your upper eyelid, which is drooping downward.  You then lift the brow to help with this. You made need an eyelid ptosis repair to help with this asymmetric brow (which is a little counterintuitive).  I hope that this helps!-David Gilpin

Your brows are likely not the problem. The right brow is raised since it is trying to lift a droopier right upper eyelid (eyelid ptosis) so it is a compensatory mechanism. You may benefit from right upper lid ptosis surgery for better symmetry. See an oculoplastic surgeon.
