Super uneven eyebrows - help! What can I do, is it just my face? (Photos)

Question

So my eyebrows have always been a problem for me. There’s been times when they’ve been super thick and times when they’ve been thin as just a line. Now I’ve let them grow out a while but they’re still SO OFF. It’s honestly my biggest insecurity and I don’t go to events if my eyebrows look dumb. What can I do, is it just my face? I also notice that one side of my face kinda sticks out a little more than the other and one eye is bigger would that make a difference on my eyebrows?

As we age, our eyelids naturally sag and droop. A combination approach would be best to see visible improvement. In terms of non-surgical treatment options, I would recommend a Chemical Brow Lift (using Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Jeuveau) and filler injections to rejuvenate the temples, eyebrow, eyelid, eye troughs, upper eye hollows, and forehead. I typically combine this with Ultherapy and thread lifting to lift the brow; RF and skin tightening laser treatments to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin; and laser or superficial RF devices for improvements in texture, color, and any crepey skin around the eyes as needed. In some cases, surgery is the best solution to achieve the desired results. See an expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer.​

Hello e.jA Brow Lift (also known as a Forehead Lift or an Upper Face Lift) is a surgical procedure designed to lift the brow and eliminate wrinkles on the forehead. People with droopy or sagging brows can have a sad, angry, or tired appearance; a brow lift can make that person look more happy and energetic.

Thank you for your question. Yes, a brow lift can create more symmetrical appearance. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon because you can address your eyebrow symmetry and any wrinkles to create a youthful and natural result.
Best wishes,

Hello,
There is a small difference but most people wouldn't notice it since some degree of asymmetry in the face is absolutely normal. Because the difference is small and surgery is not 100% predictable but can leave you with complications, my advice is not to have surgery. You could try Botox to see if this makes a big difference.
From the photo, you have an overall attractive appearance, so I don't think surgery would add a lot.

I know it's crazy when you first hear about facial asymmetry, but everyone has it!!  It's normal.  From split screen studies of the face, we know that the right side of the face is always slightly different than the left side of the face.  Brow sculpting can be done regularly to help build symmetry.  I think it needs to thought of as more regular maintenance and self care like getting your hair cut.  If it really bothers you, consider a consult with a plastic surgeon to review nonsurgical treatments to bring more balance to your problem areas. Botox and fillers really can help along with skin tightening tools and browlifting if needed.  Best Wishes!!

It is important to realize that everyone's face is asymmetric.  It is very common to have one eyebrow higher than the other. From a Cosmetic Surgeon's perspective, we can even out the eyebrows with Botox injections or dermal fillers. We can also non-surgical brow lifting technology such as Ultherapy or they can be surgically lifted via an endoscopic brow lift.In your case the asymmetry is not as bad as it appears to you. This can certainly be fixed through Botox, or even by the proper use of makeup.
