Eyes asymmetry getting worse as I age. The degree of asymmetry varies from angles. It is the worst when I lower my chin and look straight ahead. It also gets worse when I haven't rested well for a few days. Saw one eye surgeon who said he was not confident to achieve a visibly improved outcome. A neurologist ran tests and confirmed I do not have who ran some tests and confirmed that I Do Not have Myasthenia Gravis, MG. Can this be addressed by eyelid surgery or double eyelid surgery?

Answer: This question can not be answered from these photographs. There is just no substitute for a detailed in person assessment. In each of these photographs you are actually looking slightly down. It simply does not provide the type of information that is obtained in an in person consultation. Likely you do have ptosis and this will need to be corrected by the appropriate technique. Eighty percent of eyelid surgeons will want to perform a Müllerectomy. That is often not the right surgery. Many patients need an anterior levator aponeurosis resection ptosis surgery. A double fold surgery is often also needed. Consequently, you also need a surgeon who is very comfortable performing this surgery on a double fold eyelid.

Answer: Asymmetric eyelids. Your right eye has more excessive skin compared to the left side. It is best understood in face to face consultation but there might also be an eyelid ptosis on right side. More photographs with different angles or videos will help a lot for us to evaluate better.
