After Botox injection, one eyebrow is higher than the other. Can it be fixed? (Photo)

Typically Botox will take 1-2 weeks to take full effect.  At that time if there is any brow asymmetry it is an excellent time to get a "touch-up".  A couple of units of Botox can be used to symmetrize the brows.  

Thank you for your question.Using a small amount of botox can help your brow. I suggest seeing the  provider who performed your injections for a follow-up appointment to discuss your concerns and possible touch up injection. To be sure what is best for you, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment.I hope this helps.

This can easily be fixed by a little more botox being injected to the brow that is elevated.  I suggest speaking to a cosmetic dermatologist with experience or going back to your physician for a touch up.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Yes this can be fixed and you need to call your doctor who did the Botox and have them correct it. It should not be an issue and sometimes this happens. There is no need to wait the 6 months to fix this .

Thank you for your question and photos.  You can have Botox strategically placed to make it look more symmetrical, but the effects of Botox last about three months.All the best,

It would be helpful to see your before pictures and to know where you had your botox injections.  I agree that it looks like you may have a ptosis of the left eyelid and an elevation of your left eyebrow.  Ptosis occurs when the eyelid muscle does not elevate properly, and the forehead compensates by pulling the eyebrow (and eyelid) up.  You may have had a less exaggerated ptosis prior to your treatment, and the treatment may have exacerbated it. I think this issue can be treated/softened:1) weaken the obicularis on your right side (the obicularis pulls down on the eyebrow)2) weaken the forehead on your left side (the forehead elevates the
eyebrow) - must be very careful with this strategy, since it may make your lowered left eyelid even lower, which would be undesirable3) trial of brominidine drops on the left - this will help to elevate your left eyelid, but won't necessarily change the position of your browAlso, be reassured that all the effects will likely wear away in several weeks to months.

Yes. Strategic injections of small amounts of Botox can refine your results. You also appear to have eyelid ptosis which is worse on the left side. It is possible that your brow has elevated because your lid is drooping on the left side. Alternatively, you might have had eyelid ptosis before. I hope you've had injections with a plastic surgeon previously. They can evaluate before and after photos and determine exactly what is going on and how to proceed.

Dear PatientIt takes about 2 to 3 weeks to get the final results of your Botox.  Sometimes you can tell sooner that one side is not as relaxed.  Either way, you can go back to your doctor and the side that is higher or moving more can be relaxed with a very small dose of Botox and hopefully create more symmetry.  Please be aware that everyone's eyebrows start slightly uneven and usually it is impossible to get them perfectly even or identical. 

Thank you for your question and photographs.  If your Botox effects have fully set in, normally 7-10 days after injection, then correcting the elevated brow can be done in one of two ways.  If you like the look of your elevated left brow, you can attempt to duplicate this effect with placement of small amount of Botox in your right eyebrow region to create a "chemical brow lift."  If you would like the left eyebrow to drop, placement of a small amount of Botox above the left eyebrow should improve your result.  Speak to your injector, and voice your concerns. They will want you to be happy and can make the best recommendation based on your desires and original injection pattern.  

Botox should only be done by a board certified dermatologist. Good results can be seen when performed by the right physician. Because you have had an untoward result, I would suggest discussing with board certified dermatologist your options at the time of a visit.
