I've tried to do facial exercises to lift my eyelid and to make my face more symmetrical but it doesn't seem to making the impact I'm looking for. I've noticed that I have a asymmetrical face which really bothers me. My left eye doesn't match my right eye; it looks droopy and creates a "lazy eye" effect (in my opinion) and one eye brow is slightly higher than the other. I would like to have a professional's opinion on how I can fix these imperfections.
Answer: Symmetry Asymmetries are present in every person. There are studies that show perfect symmetry is very rare. That being said we do are best to make people symmetric surgically. For what you are looking for upper lid surgery versus well positioned botox (for the brow) is your best option. For the lid we would need to see you in person to perform some simple physical exam test to determined if this is a skin, muscle or nerve issue as it affects the type of surgery recommended. You appear young from the photos so I would be conservative and start with the botox.Hope this helps.Best of luck,DrC

Answer: Facial Symmetry The condition you describe may be best treated with a forehead lift. Prior to taking treatment to this extent I would suggest exploring the possibility of a botox treatment. Consult a board certified oculoplastic surgeon to achieve the desired outcome and to become aware of any potential complexities in the procedure that would be specific to you. I feel that it is inappropriate to make definitive claims based on photos alone. Your medical history certainly impacts the range of treatment options that may or may not be available to you.

Answer: Focus on the Lid Your left upper eyelid has a mild droop (ptosis), and your eyebrow on that side is likely elevated to try to combat the droop. I would recommend an evaluation with an oculoplastic surgeon to evaluate your eyelid. If the brow stays elevated then you can consider a brow procedure to even them out.

Answer: Facial asymmetry? Dean KdaumMost of the world's population is not symmetrical. In fact we know that symmetry by itself doesn't necessary mean beauty. As far as your condition from your pictures it's clear that you have a slight droop on your left eyelid and thus subconsciously raising your left eyebrow to see better. You need to have a full exam by an oculoplastic surgeon to get a better assessment. I would definetly not recommend a brow lift because that will give you a femenizing unnatural results and your eyes will still remain asymetrically drooped.

Answer: How can I make my eyes more symmetrical? In your photograph, it is apparent the asymmetry lies in your eyebrows. With elevation of the brows, your eyes may appear more symmetric. There are several methods to correct this issue, including nonsurgical treatments with neuromodulators. You would be best served by seeking consultation with a surgeon who has expertise in this area.
