Asymmetrical Face
I have ayssmetrical eyes but the one thing that bothers me the most about it is my eyelids. My right eyelid crease is higher than my left. I am aware that you can make an eyelid crease higher, but, I would rather make my right lid crease lower to resemble the left;I like my left eye. Is this possible? Also, I have a deviated septum and a twisted bulb at the tip. Could this be the cause of my asymmetrical eyes? Im planning on fixing eyelids and nose at same time, what are the costs I am facing?

Asymmetrical face treatment.
Rhinoplasty and correction of the septal deviation will help. Your eyelid asymmetry can be improved with a filler injection or surgery for the asymmetry and ptosis of the left lid. The cost is dependent on the skill of the surgeon and you don't want to cut corners on your face!

Lowering Eyelid Crease

The cost of the treatment will vary depending on the physician, geographic location, and the cost of the operating room and...

Rhinoplasty
The photos show the different upper eyelid creases you describe but also show that the distance between upper aand lower eyelid edges when the eyes are open is greater on the the right than the left. I suspect that there is some right left facial bone asymmetry contributing to this. Right left symmetry does not exist in nature and everyone of my surgical consent forms state that the right and left sides of the body are not the same and can never be made the same. Even if you could...

Addressing facial asymmetry
Asymmetrical eyebrows have to be addressed only through a brow lift. When the patient has asymmetrical eyelids, it is often due to differences in the amount of skin and fat that is present in the orbit. Asymmetrical surgery can be done to make the eyelids look more symmetrical by taking out different amounts of fat and skin to raise the eyelid crease on one side or the other. With respect to the nose, a broken, twisted nose with a deviation of the tip can be addressed at the same time...

Asymmetry of the face
Yes, everyone's face is is asymmetric. I would not touch the eyelids to try to make them exactly the same. It is almost impossible due to the udnerlying bony and soft tissue architectue. As for the nose, bulbous tips and crooked noses can be improved.
