Is it possible to get blepharoplasty on just one eyelid? How much would it cost and is local anesthesia possible? (Photo)

ranger2008
I'm 27 and have significant eye asymmetry but no visual problems. I'd like to know what procedures you'd recommend to help "disguise" the asymmetry as much as possible. I'm consider an upper blepharoplasty on my higher eye (right side) to increase the amount of visible eyelid to better match the amount of visible eyelid on my "lower" eye. However, I get "eyeliner transfer" on my eyelid on both eyes. Alternatively, would you recommend a brow lift for both eyes + a bleph on the higher eye?
