Asymmetrical eyebrows? It may not be the eyebrows themselves.
Eyebrow position is influenced by a balance of muscles around the upper face.
The frontalis is the main muscle responsible for raising the eyebrows, while the glabellar complex and orbicularis oculi contribute to downward forces.
These muscles don’t necessarily work identically on both sides. Differences in muscle activity, recruitment and anatomy can all contribute to differences in eyebrow position.
Some asymmetry is completely normal. Most faces aren’t perfectly symmetrical and our muscles aren’t either.
So when you notice one eyebrow sitting higher than the other, the muscles underneath are part of the picture.
