Can you surgically bring the eyebrows closer towards the center of your face?

Eyebrow asymmetry can often be improved with either a completely one-sided brow lift or a brow lift that raises one side more than the other. The method chosen will depend on what other issues you wish to correct. Since it will vary depending on your specific situation, a consultation with me is necessary to determine the best approach.

It is difficult to answer this question without seeing you, but let me explain in general terms, what I usually recommend.This is a one or two stage procedure, depending on what the procedure requires.  The first is a standard endoscopic brow lift to correct the fallen brow.The second portion of the procedure is eyebrow shaping.  We perform this with a combination of hair transplantation to the mid portion of the brow and shaping the rest of the brow.  

Difficult situation,I would be very carefull of allowing someone to do this procedure. As far as I know, there is no good treatment for this that would not have other issues related to it. Dr B

You can not surgically move your eyebrows inward without creating obvious scars. You will have settle for what a traditional browlift surgery can do...lift upward.

Dear Vanessarose,

From your description and clinical
history of weight loss, weight gain and brow malposition, you might well be a
candidate for brow lift surgery. Brow lift
surgery involves a small incision in the hairline and then a telescope that is
then used to elevate the eyebrows and forehead off the underlying structures
and then repositioned in an aesthetically pleasing fashion. During your consultation with your selected
plastic surgeon, the full depth and detail of the brow lift surgery should be
discussed.

I have been a certified plastic
surgeon and have been exclusively practicing cosmetic plastic surgery for the
past 20 years and endoscopic brow lift, eyelid and brow repositioning
procedures are very commonly performed in my practice. I would suggest a consultation where we
discuss your facial aesthetic goals and eyebrow positioning and contour
desires. After a full discussion of the
risks, benefits and recovery, as well as the cost, which include demonstrating
in front of the mirror the type of shapes that can be achieved, you can decide
whether endoscopic brow lift, eyebrow or brow repositioning surgery is for
you. Generally, seven days would be
required to recover and most of these procedures are performed under local
anaesthesia and oral sedation.

I trust this advice is of some
assistance and best of luck.
