Sounds like you are talking about your upper lids. I think it would be extremely difficult to give you a predictable symmetric result using Botox. An experienced surgeon might be able to lower your lids some, but again, it will be difficult to achieve complete symmetry.
Is it possible to lower the upper eyelid using Botox?
