Possible to Fix my Asymmetrical Eyes?

It is certainly possible to address some of the asymmetries that you have. You should consult an Oculoplastic surgeon to go over the possible procedures that can help you. A lot will depend on what you want to achieve.

Treatment Options For Orbital Dystopia (Asymmetry)

There is a clear mild orbital dystopia of your left eye. The first question is whether this should be addressed by orbital augmentation with accompanying eyelid and brow procecures or simply perform eyelid and brow procedures alone to help camouflage it. I would get a 3-D CT scan and see how significant the bony orbital asymmetry is and whether orbital floor augmentation is worth the effort. This information would factor in to help makie this important treatment decision.... more

Options for asymmetric eyes

Hello eyedude, You do have treatment options. . .some are easy and straight forward some more involved. An examination would allow me better advice to take this for what its worth. We'll go from easy to less easy: 1. If the facial skeleton is asymmetric (it appears to be a bit) then that has to be addressed but if it happens that the upper edge of your superior orbital rims are at about the same height, then a left upper blepharolplasty would help the appearance... more

Asymmetric eyes

Your posted photos show more than the average asymmetry. The narrow view photo from only a frontal view does not allow complete assessment but I suspect that there are bone as well as soft tissue (eybrow and eyelid) contributions to the asymmetry. Soft tissue sugery will get you closer to symmetry but cannot achieve complete symmetry. Bone surgery has a poor benefit risk ratio so you will not find many if any surgeons to do it. Also you will likely need some surgery on the right... more

Frankly not really.

Your left eye is set lower in the facial skeleton than on the right side. This type of asymmetry is pretty common. Most people would go through life blissfully unaware of this type of difference. The fact that you are aware of it does not mean you should go out and fix it. However, you might consider a consultation with an oculoplastic surgeon to assess the brow and eyelid positions and determine is there is some way to address your asymmetry short of having a... more
