What exactly is the problem with my eye/eyebrow and what can I do to fix it? (photo)

March 25, 2014

One of my eyebrows is much higher than the other. It alters my smile and face and leaves me looking weird or disfigured in pictures and in person. It comes out especially when I smile, and the more facial expression I use, the worse it gets. It is noticeable when relaxed and almost feels like one side is constantly raised. I can even raise that sides eyebrow but not the other It makes me EXTREMELY sad and self conscious. Is this fixable and what exactly is the problem?
