Is There a Surgery to Correct a Significant Eye Asymmetry?
One of my eyes is much higher than the other, part of a noticeable asymmetry. Is there a surgery to raise one eye or lower the other so that both eyes would be level? The attached picture shows a crooked nose line. Also is there a reason my face grew so asymmetrically?

The algorithm for diagnosing the eye asymmetry is soft tissue, muscular, bony or a combination. Etiology can be genetic, traumatic (birth injury), a syndrome. As for treatment, you can try minor interventions as Botox, fillers, minor operations. Or if there is a orbital dysplasia than a very intensive bony operation to re-position the orbits can be discussed.

Surgery to correct eye asymmetry.
It is possible to correct some brow and eyelid asymmetry. The photo dies not give enough of a view to see if this would apply to you.
