Question

Hi I met with an accident 3 months back and had stitches on my forehead & right eyebrow . Lost some skin below the eyebrow , so my plastic surgeon did a surgery . Now my right eyebrow is elevated since 3 months and not coming to its normal position. Will my eyebrow return to normal position without any further intervention or any treatment is required. Please guide

Unfortunately only time will tell if your brow will drop back down to its original position. There is a chance it may not due to scarring. Have you tried massaging the area? Massages can help to break down scar tissue and may release the brow down a bit more. However, there are things you can do to help with the asymmetry. Botox may help if you wanted to try a non-surgical option first. It can be injected to bring the right brow down and lift the left up. A brow lift is a surgical option to bring up the left brow to match the new height of the right one. I would recommend massaging above and below the right brow (especially around the scars) and wait another month to see if anything changes. If not, we offer in-person or virtual consultations to discuss options further.
