Surgery For My Asymmetrical Eyes?

Tags: male, asymmetry, candidate, reshape
Looking at my photos, eyeA is not symmetrical with eyeB & it really affects my appearance when you see my face as a whole. I believe its the eyelid & the entire shape thats causing the asymmetry. Id like to have surgery on eyeA to make it symmetrical with eyeB (which I think is perfect.) The asymmetry is even worse when I smile. This stresses me out a lot & I HATE how I look because of it. Surgery is possible,correct? Could you give me more info on everything,as well as what you see in my eyes?

Asymmetric eyes vs. body dysmorphia
Everybody has asymmetric eyes, if you look closely enough and measure accurately. Very detail oriented surgeons will point out those asymmetries to you and discuss whether or not it is worth addressing them surgically.
Often that asymmetry is due to the way the eyeball sits in the bony orbit.
It is just different, that's the way it is.
There are plenty of top notch male models who have significant asymmetries between their eyes, yet they still grace the billboards and...

The eyes can be made to appear more symmetrical
The eyes can be made to appear more symmetrical. It’s hard to tell from a photograph, but treating the eyelid asymmetry could be helpful for you. It really depends on the reason for the asymmetry. If it’s affected when you smile, it may be a nerve problem which can be difficult to treat. You should see an oculofacial plastic surgeon who has experience with eyelid surgery.

Eyelid asymmetry
It is interesting to see the differences in opinion in this case. Basically you have a small eyelid crease asymmetry. The most efficient and effective way to remedy that is to inject Juvederm into the inner upper lid. I would stay away from surgery.

Your issue is one of unrealistic expectations and for a MINOR normal genetic variant in your anatomy I would recommend not to pursue surgery.

It is improbable that surgery will be successful in addressing your issue.
Dear RR613
You do have a symmetry issue. You notice it and surgeons can also see what you are talking about. However, the landing pad for achieving a satisfactory outcome for you with surgery is very small. This means that in the best of surgical hands, you are likely to be disappointed with the outcome of surgery. There is also the possibility that you will correctly feel that surgery has made you worse.
WIth a situation like this, it is important to...

Everyone has asymmetric face or in fact asymmetric body. Some are more asymmetric than others but you would not find a perfectly symmetric face. So, it is not unusual to notice this later on in life. It is not possible to completely correct this. The problem is the forehead which is shorter on the smaller side of the face and brow is lower, the distance between brow and eyelid is shorter and so on. In order to improve this you will have to do endoscopic forehead lift with more lift on the...
