My eyebrows have been asymmetrical since birth. Can we fix this without any surgery? (Photo)

Question

Just have a question is there any possible way we can fix this without any surgery?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

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.​

Thank you for your question. You have a lovely face and your asymmetry is certainly within the normal range. It is doubtful anyone would notice the difference in your brows besides you. However, if your asymmetry bothers you, some well-placed injections of Botox could do the trick. This procedure should only be performed by an experienced, board-certified injector to ensure an optimal outcome. Keep in mind that Botox is also a temporary fix and you will need to repeat your procedure every 3-4 months to maintain your results.

Hello, thank you for your question. This can be improve with Botox, the effects of Botox wear off after 3-4 months, this is short term solution, if you want a long term solution you can consider surgery.

Mild eyebrow asymmetry is very common.  You don't need to do anything about it.  If you must try something, then try Botox.

Charles H. Thorne, MD · Answer

Your right brow is higher than your left. You have the choice of lowering the right or raising the left. The right side will probably drop a little if your entire right forehead is treated with Botox. Alternatively, there is a way, also with Botox, to lift the tail of the left brow. Unfortunately, either way it will be temporary and perhaps worse, the Botox will cause asymmetry of your forehead creases which can sometimes be quite noticeable and strange looking - especially in a young person who doesn't yet have obvious creases. The left brow can be lifted surgically, and that is probably the best alternative, but it sounds like you are really looking for a non-surgical approach.

Patrick Flaharty, MD FAACS · Answer

We all have facial asymmetry and this can be visible in the height, shape and contour of the eyebrows. Most of the time these asymmetries are subtle and do not require treatment. Rather than look at the fine details it is better to take a global look at the entire face as this is how others see us. We tend to pick ourselves apart under high magnification but this is not how the world sees us and really is not the best method of self evaluation. Should you desire to correct mild brow asymmetry the simplest way is using Botox to even the brows. Surgical brow lifts are also an option but should be reserved for more severe degrees of brow asymmetry.
