Brow lift to cure asymmetry? (Photo)

Question

I've had an asymetrical face for all my life (I'm 22). Because this is making my dating life significantly harder, I am currently taking actions to change this. One thing that gives my face a lot of asymmetry is that the skin underneath one eyebrow seems to hang a little bit. If I pull up that eyebrow with my finger, the assymetry is almost gone. I was wondering if a brow lift with botox would have the same effect as holding the skin up with my finger. Thanks for your answer!

To give the eyebrows a nice lift, we use injectable fillers to improve the eyebrow, upper eye, forehead and temple. A filler is placed on the bone and in the fat pads of these areas to contour and lift without it looking overdone. We use cannulas to limit pain and swelling. I suggest getting a formal consultation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Both of your eyebrows are below the level of the orbital rim and they should be at the level of the orbital rim. I recommend a browlift rather than Botox, which is temporary. The browlift will decrease the width of your forehead.

A series of close up photos would better present your problem. Unilateral endoscopic brow lift may be a good solution of mild/moderate asymmetry. Good luck.
