Hello all..
I'm 24, and since I was young, my eyes looked different than each other.. I read that it's because the space in the skull that contain each eyeball (it calls Globe I think) is deeper.
I recently noticed (from a recent photo) that in the right side of my face, my eyebrow is closer to my eye than the left side of my face.. another thing that make my eyes look different.. this probably because of the different globs, but I noticed that when I rise my right eyebrow, it looks a lot better.
I was wondering if there is a way to correct this without surgery or Botox.. I heard that there is facial exercise for brow lifting.
PS/ I noticed that I'm able to control (lower and rise) my right eyebrow individually, but I can move my left eyebrow only when I move both eyebrows.
thanks in advance. |

| I don't know an exercise but I just wanted to mention that sometimes we see an imbalance due to sleeping on one side - when I am tired it shows particularly, but I have noticed that the side I sleep on looks more 'droopy' I try to sleep on my back! (I stuff a horse shoe shape of socks in my pillow case to keep my head straight and put a small rolled up towel under my knees to begin with to prevent my back aching!) Just in case it helps! |

Puddlelover makes a good point. I think for many of us our faces are not symmetrical, whether in appearance or strength. Depending on how we sleep, which side of our faces we use more to snarl or smirk, which side we chew more on, one side of our face is bound to have stronger muscles than the other side or some may be stronger on one side and a different set stronger on the other side.
So what you are seeing in your face is not unusual. I don't think you would do well to try to work one side differently from the other to try to get them to balance. I think you'll end up with worse results if you do that, because it's hard to tell what muscles exactly are weak and creating a sag, since they are all interconnected and every movement we make uses a set of muscles that may have nothing to do with another...and the ones not being used might actually be the one that need work. Or you could end up overworking muscles that already get worked a lot because they are connect to ones you use so you end up with a weird build.
My suggestion would be to find a face exercise that works to tone EVERYTHING up and do the entire program to work your whole face. There are many programs discussed in this forum and if you read the threads in the sticky at the top that has them all compiled, you can get an idea of what to expect from each program and then just commit to the one that makes the most sense to you.
Even when you start the exercises, various muscles may take a while to reach the same tone as others...so you may see some parts responding faster than others. If you are doing a program whose results you have seen in others and are happy with what you've seen, then stick with it because chances are that you too may get those results. And you will, because eventually even the muscles that were far behind will catch up with those that were more toned because once muscles are toned, there's no other place for them to go but to wait for the others to catch up. That's my belief anyway. |

I had good luck with doing the scalp exercise below:
http://www.hairloss-reversible.com/my_approach.htm
COMBINED w/winking my right eye while doing it and then my left eye when doing it. To my surprise, the eye that was smaller (& w/a droopier lid)was the one that was the easiest to wink. Winking the opposite eye was difficult but it built strength as I struggled to keep the other eye open.
Do both though.
It's important to master the scalp exercise first.
Once you have mastered it, you will see results quickly once you incorporate the winking of one eye at a time and repeatedly. |
