Tags: female, asymmetry, 7 years post-op, revision

I had a lower blepharoplasty done by and ENT doctor I was working for while serving in the Air Force.He did the incision on the skin right above my lower eyelashes.I did not get the normal recovery time that other patients would have got because I worked for the doctor. The procedure was free so I didn;t complain. Years have past since the procedure. My eyes are very assymetrical and I would like to get it fixed. Is this possible?

Revision surgery on lower eyelids may be possible

I would need to see closeup pictures of your lower eyelids, or better yet, actual physical examination of your lower eyelids, to tell you what can be done to make them look better. However, generally speaking, it should be possible to revise your lower eyelids to make them look better. Please consult a board certified plastic surgeon for an expert opinion.

Blepharoplasty asymmetry

Can you send close up photos of your eyes? Also, how long ago was your original surgery?

Blepharoplasty for asymmetry

Based on your first photo, the amount of asymmetry appears to be a normal amount. We all are asymmetric to some extent and, based solely on the photo, would likely recommend that you hold against additional surgery on the eyelids at this point.
