In case you thought you’d ever want to try it out just to see what the effect would be, Botox these days in the States (I think that’s where you said you are), depending on area (big city or rural) can run between $10-$30 per unit. There are alternatives like Dysport which are cheaper also. It sounds like you wouldn’t need very much at all if you’re just trying to get symmetry for one eyebrow. I don’t know for sure of course but I’m guessing maybe 8 to 10ish units? The injections usually last 3-6 months depending on how quickly your body metabolizes it. It might end up being a much cheaper endeavor than you imagined. I get my dermatologist to do mine. If you have an derm appointment coming up and they offer injectable’s in that office you might want to ask them what it would cost, for shits and giggles.The first time I heard the word "botox" was when my doctor said it in 2001. I'd never heard of it before & had to look it up.
He mentioned it because he'd taken a benign tumor out of my saliva gland (parotid gland), where the facial nerves are located. And because the tumor was wrapped around the gland, he accidentally cut the facial nerve that controls the right side of my face. The nerves did regenerate to an extent over the next 18 months but some damage was permanent.
Part of the permanent damage was my right eyebrow no longer moving. And because my left eyebrow has always been so pronounced when I talk, he suggested doing botox there so it wouldn't move either as it's quite noticeable when I talk to people & my right eyebrow doesn't move. He was trying to think of a way to make me less self conscious (which I still am to this day) but I've always been too afraid of needles to do it, nor do I have the money. That was almost 23 years ago now so imagine how much money this would've cost me.
