Blepharoplasty Asymmetry After 8 Months

Tags: female, asymmetry, 8 months post-op

Had double eyelid surgery in September 2010. I feel there is a very noticeable difference between my eyes. My surgeon says there might not be much he can do because the difference is so slight he could make it worse than it already is. He and everyone I've asked say that its barely noticeable. When I look in the mirror I see the difference but don't think its horrible, hope they're still healing and end up more similar, but not horrible. But in pictures they look much worse for some reason.

Asian Eyelid Asymmetry

Depending on how much asymmetry exists and the amount of upper eyelid skin that remains, this is something than can be corrected. We would need close up photos of your eyes / brows for a better evaluation, but this is likely something that can be corrected.

Asymmetry after Asian Double Eyelid Surgery

Asymmetry is found in all of us. Around the eyes, differences are much more noticeable. This is some of the reason why Asian Blepharoplasty is so difficult. I would really like to see pictures of you and consider an in person or video consult. There are ways to make the eyes look more symmetric. You can take out more skin. You can reset the crease at a higher or lower position. You can fat graft one or both of the eyelids or remove fat to make them more symmetric... more

Asymmetry after double eyelid surgery

Subtle differences may be obvious to a patient. What I notice in this photograph is your eyebrow asymmetry and that may contribute to the overall asymmetry between your eyelids. A better photograph in repose the the hair not obscuring the brow would be helpful.
