Is it normal to have some eye asymmetry? Or should I get this fixed? (Photo)

Most of our patients (and everyone else too!) has visible asymmetry in their faces. One brow is often higher, one eye appears larger, one cheekbone or jawline is stronger etc. This is usually normal and no cause for alarm. However when the degree of asymmetry is excessive, we may suggest options to help balance this. Eyebrows for example might improve with something as simple as Botox or Dysport injections, and surgery may be used at times as well. 

It appears from the one photograph that you might have some eyelid ptosis or drooping of the eyelid on the right. This could be corrected but some asymmetry is often acceptable. It it is bothersome, I would seek a consultation with a specialist in your area and get their opinion.

Thank you for your question and the helpful photo.  You eyes are beautiful!  I do see that very slight asymmetry, with the lid of your right eye sitting ever so slightly lower than your left.  But it is SO slight.  Some of the most beautiful people in the world have such slight asymmetry.  Unless fhis really, really bothers you, or unless it worsens over time, I wouldn't do anything at all all.Best wishes,Dr. K

Almost everyone has mild asymmetry between their eyes and on each half of their face. You are beautiful and have lovely eyes. Artful makeup is all I'd recommend on the basis of your nice photograph. If you ever wanted a definitive opinion, please see a  board-certified, fellowship trained Oculofacial Plastic Surgeon who specializes in cosmetic eyelid surgery. Avoid doctors who perform eyelid surgery part time.  Best wishes!

 It is normal to have asymmetry in the eyelids and  the forehead. If this is bothering you significantly, and is present consistently, then consider a very conservative skin only upper blepharoplasty on one side to match the opposite side as long as there's no ptosis present.  For many examples, please see the link and the video below 

There is a saying in cosmetic surgery.  The two sides of the face are sisters not twins.  Just about everybody has some asymmetry in their face.  You're right upper eyelid is a bit lower than your left upper eyelid which results in the difference that you are seeing.There is no right or wrong answer.  It all comes down to how much it bothers you.  You have attractive eyes right now.  However, if it bothers you when you look in the mirror, or in photos, than you may want to consider a consultation.   Making small changes in eyelid height requires a good deal of skill so it is important that you see a cosmetic surgeon with a lot of experience dealing with eyes.Hope this is helpful. 

Your photograph does show some eyelid asymmetry. You may have ptosis on the right, but retraction on the left with pseudo-ptosis on the right is another possibility. The latter may be seen with thyroid dysfunction. I would suggest an evaluation with an Oculoplastic surgeon to obtain a detailed examination and measurements. With proper diagnosis, this may be repaired (local outpatient eyelid surgery) to give you better symmetry. Best wishes.
