Surgery for Correcting Uneven Eyes?

Hi, I would like to ask which surgery is required to correct my eyes, specifically my left eye? I had undergone eyelid surgery twice previously. The first one was a disaster; the second one did not meet my expectation as my eyes are still uneven (only with less visible scars). I am really considering going to an oculoplastic surgeon. Please give me some opinions and suggestions on my current state. Thank you and deeply appreciated for your time.

To better answer your question, I would need a picture of you looking up, down, left and right. All these pictures need to be from a frontal view.

Sometimes a very low unilateral eyebrow can cause it as well as ptosis, and they all need to be addressed.

Asymmetry is not a rare occurence and is difficult to correct at times

I see that your left eye has multiple creases from the blepharoplasty procedure (or Asian blepharoplasty / Asian eyelift / Asian Eyelid lift / Asian Eye Cosmetic Surgery / Asian eye Plastic Surgery). I think what is going on is that the crease is not properly fixed on that side and needs to match the right side. Sometimes, these surgeries are difficult because you are so close to the eye when you approach the muscle that elevates the eyelid. There is around 1-2mm of tissue thickness from... more

Revision Surgery for Asian Eye

You can have revision done to improve the symmetry between the eyes. An Oculoplastic surgeon who speicalizes in revision Asian Eyelid Surgery would be a good choice. You also have to make sure you communicate your desire and goals very clearly. Sometimes, patients assume that the surgeon knows exactly what you want. That is not true. Frequent and detailed communication with your surgeon will help you both. Keep in mind revision surgery does not necessarily mean that your problem will be... more

An oculoplastic surgeon experienced in correcting Asian eyelid surgery is your best option

Dear JmiC You need revisional anchor blepharoplasty with ptosis surgery. Both upper eyelids are a little low. The crease on the right appears well structured, but the upper eyelid fold is over excised. The eyelashes are not correctly tensioned so they point down and are not perky. The left side, the upper eyelid is lower and the platform skin is loose. The fold is complex and not well formed. Over resection of fat in the left upper eyelid may account for why this upper eyelid fold is... more
