Is it normal for my forehead to look like this? (Photo)

Question

I've noticed that my forehead looks weird and it didn't use to look like that. I also can tell that my eyes are not alligned but I don't know if that is because of the way my forehead is. What would you recommend? What are my options and costs? Thank you! Ps: I've also uploaded a picture from 8 years ago for comparison.

Hi jmglz93.  Thank you for the photos.  It is normal to see some horizontal creases develop over time from raising up your eyebrows-these are treated with injections of Botox, Dysport or Xeomin.  We all have underlying asymmetries between the right and left side of our face (they are not mirror images of one another).  The level of your brows may be able to be made more even with careful injections, possibly even a surgical browlift, which may help your eyes look more level.  Be sure to have an in-person consultation with a Plastic Surgeon certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery to help figure out which you choose-the costs will vary widely-Botox should be under $300.  Good luck!

Your brows are showing sagging and by so doing are creating extra upper eyelid lid. (pushing them down) They appear to be sagging asymmetrically which is why one eye now looks different than the other. A browlift with or without upper blepharoplasty is likely the best corrective approach.
