For years now my eyebrow has raised itself when talking to people or when I get nervous. Any solutions to this?

A little Botox in your overactive brow will calm it down so that it doesn’t move without your willing it. Botox lasts about 3 to 4 months. Consulting with a board-certified dermatologist for your Botox will help you regain control over your expressions.

Botox or Dysport can be used to treat your raised eyebrow. Botox and Dysport are neuromodulators that weaken muscle contraction. The Botox can weaken the muscle that is causing your eyebrow to raise up. The effect can look very natural if done correctly. The results from Botox last about 3-4months. Please consult a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon experienced in aesthetic injectables. Best wishes.

Botox can definitely help with uneven brows, by injecting Botox above the high brow in small amounts it will relax the muscle of the forehead and prevent it from elevating. Its usually a small amount used in that area, and a great place to start.
Good luck, Dr. G

It may be as simple as getting alittle botox a couple of times a yr. If others notice it,then it is time to improve it.

Please note that the eyebrow movement you have is normal.  Each person has their own unique asymmetry and pattern of movement.  Botox can definitely help limit the movement of your right eyebrow going up but it must be carefully placed.  If it's placed too low - it can sometimes cause a heavy feeling or look low browed.  Very important that you go to someone who is very experienced and does many of these injections.  Just because the person is a board certified physician doesn't mean they do this well.   Ask them how many botox injections they do weekly and it they treat more than 50 patients/week - they're more likely to be proficient.  

Botox can be used to relax the hyperactive eyebrow that is moving. I would go to a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist to address your concern.  

It is not uncommon for one brow to be a little more active then the other and make the face look asymmetric with certain facial expressions. In some, the asymmetry may be quite exaggerated. Botox is a great way to relax the muscle on the overactive side, and not much is required to obtain a great result.

Botox can be used to improve this issue. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

You did not provide a photograph.  That would be helpful to assess the most obvious cause for why you lift the eyebrow during conversation.  If you are serious about getting an answer to this, consider posting a photograph.  Ultimately there is no substitute for a personal assessment.

Dear DB918,based on your description, you might be a candidate for Botox, but it is hard to tell without an examination. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS
