Hello, My one eye seems to protrude more than the other. I’ve looked at pictures from my youth and my eyes appear symmetrical and even, so I’m not sure what happened. Is there something that could fix this? I’ve noticed it has gotten worse with my weight loss. Could I have juvederm injected below the larger eye to make it appear deeper set like the other eye? It’s something that I notice more and more each day. Thank you in advance.
Answer: I would pursue additional evaluation Eyes that protrude forward can be due to something going on behind the eye like autoimmune disease (thyroid is the most common), benign masses or even cancer. Pursue a complete eye evaluation with an Oculofacial Plastic Surgeon. A CT scan of the orbits can show the area behind your eye and determine whether the fat is expanded, the muscles are enlarged or other findings. Even if all turns out to be fine and this is just a natural asymmetry, I don't think fillers are your best option for improving your appearance.

Answer: Asymmetries in eyes, can fillers help? I think this needs a full evaluation to determine the exact problem. It appears that one of the upper eyelids is lower than the other which might suggest ptosis. This is usually a surgical problem. However, improving things with fillers is possible as well. Consider an evaluation by an Oculoplastic Surgeon who can lay out all the options for you. Juvederm is the worst filler for the eye area because it can cause prolonged swelling due to it hydrophillic qualities.
