Can Botox help address eyebrow asymmetry? (photos)

Question

Hello, my left eyebrow is higher than my right eyebrow, particularly at the inner part of the brow. 2 questions: 1. Can this be treated with Botox to raise (right eyebrow) or lower (left eyebrow)? Would I have to get Botox to my whole forehead? I would prefer not to have to get Botox to the entire brow & forehead. 2. Is there another treatment such as pdo threads or ultherapy that could help asymmetrical eyebrows?

Hi! Guess what? Everyone is asymmetric, including their brows! You most likely do not need to do anything to correct them as I highly doubt most people notice this. However, if you do want to try to subtly correct this, you can use botox to do so. You would either want to do a gentle dose to the frontalis above the left one to lower this or try some to the brow depressor muscles on the right side so that you can get a lift or a little bit of both. It may require some titration to get it right for something this subtle. Good luck!

Botox can be used to help improve brow asymmetry.  The treatment is done in the office with final results seen at 2 weeks.  The product effects fade gradually usually over three to four months.  See an expert injector near you for treatment.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

A couple of microdroplets of Botox placed in the lateral eyebrow can lead to a more feminine upward and outward flare of the eyebrow and create greater symmetry between the sides. Alternatively, an appropriate HA filler properly injected above and below the lateral eyebrow can likewise serve to elevate it and lead to better balance between the sides. You would be wise to consult with a board certified cosmetic dermatologist and best of luck.

For treating such mild asymmetry, there are several potential options. Botox is one great choice that has been used for years to treat this same issue, and because of the minimal adjustment needed, a small amount of botox would likely be sufficient. 
That said, if you’re hoping to avoid Botox altogether, PDO threads are another popular and highly effective option for addressing eyebrow asymmetry. In fact, a brow lift is one of the most popular PDO thread treatments. PDO threads provide natural-looking results that, while not permanent, can last up to two years.

Hi, botox can definitely fix that issue for you. They can inject botox above the eye brow to help relax the muscle to create a more even look.
