Botox can certainly be used to change the shape of your brows and to create a more pronounced arch. At your age, unless you have significant horizontal forehead rhytids (wrinkles) it may be prudent to look into enhancing your brow arch by more conservative measures first, such as make-up or brow shaping.
When Botox is applied to problem areas around the eyebrows, the muscles relax and the skin on top of them becomes smoother. The muscles around the eyebrows are pulled upwards, elevating the eyebrows and making a patient's eyes appear more open.
Heavy brows and the feeling of drooping.
This feeling and look comes from treatment of the forehead muscles called the frontalis. These muscles move the brows up and in certain cases after Botox treatment, the relaxed muscle then makes the brows drop.
The spock brow typically occurs from neuromodulator use from products such as Botox, Dysport, Xeomin and Jeuveau. A spock brow results when the central forehead is weakened and the outer sides of the forehead are active, causing the central brow to drop and the outer brow to lift too high in comparison.
They may recommend getting an additional injection on the side of your face where the eyebrow appears higher. This may help to relax your muscle and make the brow line look more even. In cases where one eyebrow is noticeably lower than another, some people have plastic surgery to correct the mismatch.
Eyebrow drop is so annoying to patients but thankfully the effects of Botox are not permanent. The eyebrows can start rising even before the full effect of Botox on the forehead wears off. It might take 4-6 weeks, but the eyebrow will be back to it's normal position for sure.
Answer: Botox can slightly alter the shape of the eyebrow
Botox injections relax the muscles in which it is injected. It can be used to lower the arch in brows, or to lift brows. It can be used to alter the shape of the brow slightly, but it would most likely not be a drastic change.
Lid and brow ptosis from Botox usually appears a few days to a week after being injected. Usually, it gets better after three to four weeks.
Typically, a “Spock Brow” is due to overtreating depressors and/or undertreating elevators in the outer half of the forehead. It can be corrected by placing a small amount of Botox into the elevators in the outer forehead.
Signs of a Bad Botox Injection
There are two signs you've had a bad Botox injection: Unusual results such as facial asymmetry (one side doesn't match the other), overarching eyebrows, a drooping eyelid, or not being able to move the forehead at all.
To get rid of the arch, go to the end of your eyebrow near the tail and razor off the hairs that go downward. This will allow your eyebrows to appear straighter. However, be super careful in not razoring off too much, but just the right amount. Your eyebrows should still have a good length across your eye.
The good news in your case is that Botox is temporary. The effect on your brow will improve somewhat in about a month and should be back to its original appearance in 3-4 months.
Side effects of forehead Botox injections
In addition, if too much Botox is injected into the forehead, the brow can actually look heavier and move the eyebrows down with the result being that the eyes look smaller and the eyelids heavier.
Too much Botox in the forehead muscles can cause the eyebrows to droop, making the upper eyelids look very heavy and hooded. The face may look angry or sad all the time. Too much Botox around the eyes can dramatically affect facial expression. The face is simply frozen.
Answer: Spock Eyes after Botox
In the event there's a Spock eyebrow on one or both sides, this can be easily corrected with a few touch up units of Botox to the lateral forehead muscles on the affected side(s). Your original injector should be able to do this for you.
Botox takes between 3-7 days for the results of treatment to be fully noticeable. At times, results may look slightly uneven at first, because the Botox may “kick in” at different rates.

Answer: Brow asymetry
It is completely normal to have some asymmetry to your brows. It is not necessary to treat this. It can in some cases indicate a slight drooping of the eyelid(ptosis)on the same side and you are compensating for this by pulling the brow up.
In most cases, Botox begins to work fully within the first week after treatment, so by day four you should be able to see a slightly noticeable difference in the appearance of the areas that were treated. If this is your first treatment, you may experience a “heavy” sensation in the treatment areas.
Botox onset is 5 to 7 days. Botox peaks at 10 to 14 days.
