I Think my Eyebrows Look Too High, Can They Be Lowered? (photo)

An eyebrow can be repositioned more inferiorly, including steps to improve your symmetry.  But the ideal eyebrow position should be at or above the bony orbital rim, and it appears to me that 's about where it is today.  So my opinion is not to surgically lower your brow.  If you feel it pulls up even higher with animation, than botox can soften that effect.   My suggestion is to soften your appearance with non-surgical means, using botox or fillers.

I'd have to personally evaluate you to determine if your brows are actually too high, but by your photo, I doubt they are truly too high. One option is to try Botox. I would customize the treatment to lift the outer edge of your left eyebrow to make them more symmetric. Surgery could be a long term answer, but another option would be to consider volumetric enhancement (fat grafting) which will give an overall softer look to the area around your eyes and would most likely correct what you describe as a "harsh look".
