I've noticed a (to me) noticeable asymmetry in my eyes. This is especially when I smile that one of my eyelids looks more droopy/hooded compared to the other. Is there a way to fix this?

Answer: Asymmetry of eyes It is possible that you have ptosis of your upper eyelid, but it is difficult to know with only the photo you provided. A picture of your eyes looking forward when you are not smiling would be helpful. Ptosis is a common condition that causes asymmetry of the eyes. Surgery of the eyelid can correct this condition. You may want to consult with an oculoplastic surgeon or a surgeon experienced in ptosis repair.

Answer: Blepharoplasty Hello, thank you for your questions and photo. As always, an in-office or virtual examination is needed to fully evaluate your options. Based on your descriptions, you may benefit from a blepharoplasty. This procedure would rejuvenate the eyes by decreasing droopiness of the eyelids and tiredness from the eye bags. Every surgery is performed slightly differently to specifically address our patient’s concerned areas. In general, skin excision is made to the upper eyelids and fat is removed from the bags under eyes. To find out more in-depth information and recommendations, please contact our office or consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with extensive blepharoplasty experience. Best of luck from Tran Plastic Surgery!
