Sorry for my lack of proper description last time. I have stiff bulging internal scar tissues (collagen I've been told) in between and above (all around) my brows as seen in the pics. I'm not frowning at all in the pics. These bulges are there 24/7 and will not go away no matter what I do (massage therapy ,ice packs, arnica, I've tried 'em all) I'm 2.5 years post-op but still in major pain from these swollen scar tissue bulges. they push down on my brows and hurt so much. please help. NO botox

Be careful! The likely reason that your left eyebrow is higher is because it is compensating for a droopier left upper eyelid (ptosis), so it is a compensatory mechanism. The solution would be left upper eyelid ptosis surgery, not brow surgery.  Your left upper eyelid may not look droopy...

You don't need brow lift at all, your eyebrows are correctly located at the orbital rim edge, moreover if you do a brow lift you'll have a "surprise" expression, I'd disregard this option.You are good case for upper lid blepharoplasty, to remove spare skin, and transconjunctival lower lid fat...

Brow bone shaving thru the upper eyelid? Having done hundreds of these brow bone shaving procedures over the past 35 years, I can tell you it depends on the amount and location of the bone and your expectations. Choose an experienced facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon familiar with this...

Hi.  I usually recommend waiting 2-3 weeks after endo forehead before perm'ing or coloring your hair, and 4 weeks after facelift or coronal browlift.All the best,
