My right eyebrow has a higher arch compared to my left which sits much lower. My left eyelid seems to have more skin over my eye which gives it a drooping effect. This has escalated in the last year and a half. I never noticed any issue with my face. I have gained about 30 lbs since high school going from 125 to 155. (I am 5'8)I am a 21 year old female. Is there anything I can do that doesn't require surgery? I don't have a lot of money.

Answer: Perfect Candidate for Botox Brow Leveling Botox, or Botox-like injections (like Dysport and Xeomin) would be able to help tremendously. You can either lower the right brow by relaxing the forehead muscle slightly with the injection and/or raise your left eyebrow slightly by placing the injections in the muscle around your eyes that normally pull the brow down. This will relax those muscle and allow the eyebrow to "float" a little higher.This would require only a little Botox (or Dysport or Xeomin), so shouldn't cost very much.

Answer: Asymmetrical brows and eyelids are quite common Uneven brow height is quite common and can be temporarily addressed with Botox, Dysport or Xeomin, which are FDA approved neurotoxins lasting about 4 months. Often the problem is due to overactive muscle tone on one side when you are awake, but resolves when you are asleep and the muscles are relaxed. It is also possible that there is an eyelid problem called ptosis, but it is uncommon in younger patients. I would recommend a consultation with a Facial Plastic or Occuloplastic surgeon.
