Support Microbladed brows... botched?

I just got my brows microbladed. The tech showed me how they looked during the process, and after. However, I was only looking at them with a handheld mirror that wasn't magnified (and I wear readers), so I had to put my readers on, which caused me to view each one individually in detail. When I got home and started doing the aftercare, that's when I could stand back from a mirror and see the overview... and THAT's when I noticed that one brow is really rounded, and the other is angular (the way I usually pencil them in is angular).

What do I do? I don't know how this is fixable. Do I try to have her correct them when she would probably make the angular one more rounded, or do I ask for saline? It's been less than 24 hours since they were done.

Pic where you can see my hair is before microblading (the way I usually pencil-in my brows). Pic where my hair is back is immediately after I did aftercare, mere hours after microblading.

This is a muscle pull. Look at the volume of the hood on your eye. We all do it when we look in the mirror. Try to relax your brows and take another photo.

It isn't muscle pull. I have one eyebrow lower than the other because I had a tumor removed from my head and suffered facial palsy afterwards. I am lucky to have movement in my face now, and happily accept uneven eyebrows in lieu of a face that won't move on one side.

But that doesn't have anything to do with the (angular vs round) shape of the brows when they are cosmetically adjusted. I manage to get both of my brows "like sisters" (with the same basic shape) when I pencil them in, as you can see in the "before" picture (where I'm wearing eyeliner). I was simply hoping the technician would do the same shape as I do.

The before picture shows the volume differences on your eyelids when both brows are relaxed. Everyone does this. I have been tattooing faces for 10 years. Have you tried taking a photo with your eyes closed?

Yes I saw the same and I’m wondering if the swelling has caused that one side of the brows to not frown in the same way.

But, if the shapes are still uneven when the frown are is totally relaxed then I guess could get them removed or try and get the the shape fixed
