What is the synonym for "to raise the inner parts of the brows"?

English Language & Usage Asked on December 6, 2020

I’m not looking for the name of the face expression (e.g. sad, or sorry, or “inner brow raise”, etc.), I’m looking for the name of the movement that is made. I thought maybe there was a less complicated and more appealing version of it than “to raise the inner sides of the brows”? For example, “in the pictures the guys are … their brows”. I can’t really find any pics because I simply don’t know what to type in in a search bar. But I remembered a couple of movie scenes, so here you go:

EDIT: I found a source which suggests “eyebrows slopped outwards”. Sounds weird to me :/ Can that actually be a thing? (context: “By pushing together the eyebrows and pulling up the forehead, the eyebrows can be made to slope outwards.”)

EDIT 2: If I said “his eyebrows raised in (a) sorry”, would that make sense and be understood? If yes, would the article before sorry be needed?

EDIT 3: Here are some more pictures I could find:
