I’m looking for a solution for uneven eyebrow height, what procedure may solve that? (Photos)

Question

I’m also interested in the general price range for that type of surgery and recommendations for surgeons who specialise in the field, as most of those who I’ve contacted don’t normally deal with this type of inquiry. Thank you in advance!

Before jumping into surgery, consider a little (and I mean a little) botox into the area just above the high eyebrow and just below the low eyebrow.  Take a few selfies prior to the treatment and if you go to  an experienced provider you should get an improvement in your brow asymmetry.  Brow lifting your lower side is also an option.  From what I can see, a true endoscopic release of your lower side and fixation to allow it heal in a higher position is what I'd recommend.  Each surgeon will have a different price so I'd check around in your region.

Hello and thank you for your question. A formal evaluation would be needed to determine the best treatment. There are both surgical and non-surgical options to correct this, depending on your exact situation.

For less significant issues, there are nonsurgical treatments: 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.

Surgery (browlift and/or upper blepharoplasty) is a great option for more significant improvement- for example if there is more substantial eyebrow drooping or asymmetry. I suggest getting a consultation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert, or an aesthetic facial plastic surgeon like Dr. Donald Groves; we are both located right here in Los Angeles.

Best, 
Dr. Emer

Hello and thank you for your question and photos. A brow lift would help correct your asymmetrical eyebrows; however, you may wish to try a neuromodulator first, such as Botox, prior to having a surgery. Botox, for example, may help relax the muscles in your brow area and give you the amount of improvement you need without surgery. Schedule an in-person consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon in your area to have a full examination, to discuss your options and to determine which course of treatment will help you get the results you want. Good luck!

Thank you for your question. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon because you seem to be an ideal candidate for the brow lift. Please review patient testimonials, and before/after photos as you evaluate your potential surgeons.
Best wishes,

There are several possible causes to brow asymmetry including differences in anatomic position, differences in muscle tone or size differences between the two sides of the face.  The best place to start is with an in person consultation to determine which issue is involved. Uneven brows can be successfully improved surgically if that is necessary.
