Are my Eyes and Eyebrows Asymmetric and What Can Be Done to Fix It?

I think my eyes and eyebrows are asymmetric. Also, my eyes seem to be droopy.Can you please confirm whether I am right by looking at the pictures? If yes, what is the best way to fix it. Please note: 1. I am in middle of loosing weight. I started at 215 pounds and now am at 182 lbs. 2. My glasses needs to be replaced. My current glasses power on the right and left side is 1 point lower then it should.

Asymmetric eyes and eyebrows

The sad truth is that none of us are perfectly symmetric. Yes, I see the asymmetry that you are referring to but it is certainly not cause for alarm and I do not think should be addressed with surgery. I do also not the scleral show due to the lower lid positions but this seems to be normal for you and, in my opinion, should not be treated surgically either unless of great concern to you.

Asymmetry normal in brows

This asymmetry is normal. But if it is bothering you it could be improved. I think that your brows are on the lower side and could benefit from lifting. But this could change the way you look and this must be understood. This elevation of your brows will make you look more awake. You do have what they call increased scleral show where the whites in your eyes are increased below your iris (colored part of your eye). This can be improved for you as well.

Do I need eyelid surgery?

The degree of asymmetry is perfectly normal.  The photos are a little dificult to interpret, but my impression is that the problem is mostly in your lower eyelid.  It droops well below the iris called "scleral show"  I think that if this is corrected you would be much happier with the shape and size of your eyes.

Brow Symmetry

It is entirely normal and even expected to have a small degree of asymmetry between sides of the face and brow.  The male aesthetic is for a relatively flat, low set brow which is present in the photographs.  I would not suggest a surgical procedure in your circumstance; shaping of the brows in a salon would be more appropriate.

Congratulations on your weight loss! If you haven't had a recent medical evaluation, consider having your thyroid hormones checked to ensure that there is not a component of thyroid imbalance causing some of your periorbital concerns. If all checks out OK, then you can certainly consider selective plucking or brow waxing to improve the symmetry of your brows. You have plenty of brow hair, so this won't leave you excessively thin and is an easy option (but must be repeated regularly,... more

Asymmetrical Eyes and Eyebrows

Eye lids

I believe you do have some problems around the periorbital area which has been enumerated in the answers. However the periorbital area should be taken in context with the entire face and what you want and desire. You have significant scleral show, tear trough deformity, and flat cheeks. You can do the grooming or the botox for the brow. The lower lids need surgical correction, if you are willing to change the look of the eyes. Once you finish weight loss reevaluate the face... more

Perhaps to really have your eyes look better you need to look beyound the eyebrows.

Your pictures show that you have "scleral show" where the white of your eyeball shows bellow the iris.  This should be corrected as well as the forehead. Over the short term, you can adjust your brows by plucking them so they are more even as has been recommended.  In addition, your facial structure would appear better if you allowed your hair to be longer in the area of the upper sideburn and above the ears rather than having most of your hair higher.  This... more

Yes, your left eyebrow is slightly lower. Non surgical techniques include grooming of the left eyebrow from the lower portion and grooming of the right from the upper portion to create an optical illusion of more symmetry. Botulinum toxin could be used to slightly lower your right and minimize downward depression of the left. Botox or Surgery may not offer the degree of precision you seek
