Facial asymetry is more common than you might think

Dear hussmwg There are very few people with truly symmetric faces. The slight differences that we seen in our eyes and face can range from subtle to drastic. The next time you watch the news or movies look for the asymmetry in the faces, chins, and eyes in these beautiful famous people. In other words, if you have no functional problem with your vision, then surgery is not likely necessary. Best Wishes

Orbital asymmetry

Upon examining your photo, the asymmetry that you notice between your eyes is real, but quite subtle. The likely reason for the asymmetry is an underlying bony asymmetry: your right eye socket is slightly lower than the left. The surgery required to address this asymmetry is quite involved and involves craniofacial surgery, including the cutting of the bone of the eye socket and repositioning it.

Are asymmetric eyes normal? Ask Dr Ellen

Asymmetric Eyes

Each side of a person's face is different, and, thus, everyone is asymmetric. From your photos, the degree of asymmetry appears minimal, and I would not recommend surgery.

Facial asymmetry is normal

Every face has some degree of asymmetry as do you! Your eyes are asymmetric, but minimally. Just as these other physicians have said – look at famous actors (Bradley Cooper is a good example) who are considered attractive with significant facial asymmetry.
