One very high eyebrow and a droopy eyelid. (Photo)

Tank you for the question and photos. This is a very common problem which can be corrected by treating the upper eyelid ptosis. I would recommend a board certified plastic surgeon or Occuloplastics surgeon. Good luck

This is a common problem. The issue with your brow actually results from the droop in your eyelid. Repair of your eyelid ptosis should improve the brow asymmetry without any brow surgery. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

The eyebrow is raising more and more because it is trying harder and harder to lift the droopy eyelid which is worsening with age. The treatment is eyelid ptosis surgery.

The right upper eyelid is heavier than the left upper eyelid.  Both are heavy.  The forehead is doing what it can to compensate the upper eyelid ptosis.  The answer here is to correct the heavy upper eyelids with ptosis surgery.  See an oculoplastic surgeon for this.  Much of this surgery should be covered by your health insurance.

Your droopy upper eyelid is lower in position than it should be.  This is called ptosis.  Your eyebrow on that side is higher because it is raising to try and compensate for the lower eyelid.  There is a surgical procedure which can raise the position of your upper eyelid, and this should in turn, help with the higher brow.  I would recommend seeing an oculoplastic surgeon to discuss possible repair of your eyelid.  

Hello Jimmy,From your history, it seems to suggest a congenital (born with the problem) nature to your ptosis, but from your photos it appears your ptosis has developed over time and most likely worsened.  Ptosis surgery is relatively straightforward and can improve the symmetry of your eyes.  Best of luck!

And it is causing your brow to be higher on that side. This is a very common reaction to upper lid ptosis. The problem can be fixed through a few different techniques based on specific factors that can be determined during your evaluation. As an eyelid specialist, this is a very common issue in my practice. See the link below for a similar example in one of my patients. 

Yes, the droopy eyelids can be improved with tightening of the muscle on the droopy side. I do this under a local anesthetic in our certified operating room. 

Dear Jimmyjay, You need to have eyelid ptosis surgery which is a fairly straightforward procedure with a quick recovery period. Once the eyelids are fixed the elevated brow will stop overcompensating and should even out. This procedure may be covered by your insurance plan. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.

This is not an uncommon problem. The brow is up to compensate for the droopy lid. Fix the lid and the brow almost always goes back to its normal position.
