Droopy eyelid problem

Asymmetrical eyebrows will make the upper eyelids look quite asymmetrical as well and it is also important to note that there is no ptosis present as well. During the blepharoplasty procedure surgery is performed to make the eyelids look more symmetrical. On the saggy-type eye more fat and skin is usually removed on that side to make it balanced with the opposite side. This is all done usually under a general anesthesia.

Treatment of droopy or asymmetrical eyelids

Droopy and/or asymmetrical eyelids can have a number of causes including normal aging, facial asymmetry, as well as mechanical or neurologic eyelid ptosis. In many cases more than one cause can be involved. Due to these multiple issues, a blepharoplasty may help your situation. However, you may also need to consider other options as well, such as eyelid ptosis surgery or a brow lift. Be certain to discuss these issues/options with your surgeon. Best wishes. more
