Hello, I'm interested in upper eyelid surgery only on my right eye. I'm happy with my left eye, I like the double fold there. My right eye however is more hooded and droopier looking. It makes me look like my eyes are different sizes. It's particularly noticeable in photos. Do surgeons perform a single blepharestomy? Would it match my left eye? Would it be half the typical price? Thank you.

It looks from the pictures that your left eyelid is slightly more ptotic (droopy) than the right one. So a one-sided levator muscle repair will provide more similar-looking eyes.
