Is There an Option To Raise Just The Inner Corners During a Brow Lift?

Question

I dislike the angle of my eyebrows. They're lower at the inner corners, and when I relax my forehead make me look angry. I'm young, so this isn't a problem of sagging. Is there any way I can raise only the inner parts of my eyebrows without lifting my entire forehead? I prefer a more smooth/flat/angling downwards kind of look.

Option to raise the inner brow with a browlift is possible. An incision can be made at the hairline and the roots buried so they grow thru the incision and in front of it or it can be made behind the hairline. That will raise your hairline however while the other won't.

This is absolutely possible but almost never indicated.  most peole benefit from lateral elevation but medial elevation almost always will result in a perplexed or surprised look.  you need to be evaluated by a plastic and reconstructive surgeon who is well versed in periorbital aesthetics.  Be very careful with making changes to your medial brow as medial brow separation and elevation are difficult to correct.

The best way in a young person to adjust the brow height is with BOTOX, Xeomin or Dysport. All three neuromodulators can be used very elegantly to shape the brow. It is a way to lift the brows and shape it as you need while your face continues to change with age. Surgical brow lifts can look very unnatural, particularly in young people, and are not always good at shaping the brow to the specifications you may want. Sometimes filler in combination with BOTOX affects the brow muscle and can give a very natural looking appearance.

A medial brow lift can be performed through a partial coronal approach.  To raise the medial portion of the eyebrows it is important to soften the corrugator muscles, which are medial depressors of the eyebrows.
