Based on the attached picture, is it possible to have my eyelids symmetrical? My left eyelid is too high probably due to lack of fat in the area. The right one cannot be seen. How do I fix this? Also, I would like to make my eyes look wider vertically and make it look less tired. Will double eyelid surgery make it wider?

Asymmetric Asian Eyelids and surgery

Morning, thanks for the question. My practice is 98% Asian eyelid surgery and oculoplastics and it is absolutely possible to make your left eye look like your right. However, it will require surgery on both. I would avoid a brow lift. You're too young for that. In any case here are your issues and the solutions.

Asian eyelid asymmetric how to make them more symmetric with increasing the vertical distance

Asian double eyelid surgery will help increase your vertical dimension of your right eye.

You may have ptosis

I would prefer to see more of the forehead in the photo but frequently, ptosis will cause excess forehead wrinkles and hollowness in the upper lid. The forehead gets recruited to assist in eyelid opening.

How To Treat: Uneven Eyelids, Hollowed Eye, Ptosis?

Double eyelid surgery with elevation of your right eyebrow may help you achieve a more wide eyed, less tired and more symmetric look. Establishing a crease on the right and defining the one on the left will help with the symmetry.

It is possible to make the right upper eyelid look more like the left upper eyelid.

It is impossible to make the left upper eyelid look like the right upper eyelid. Achieving wider eyes very much depends on precisely what you are looking for. Generally a personal consultation is require to achieve that understanding. Vertically wider eyelid possibly. Horizontally wider eyelid is very unlikely.
