Could I get Botox or surgery for one of my eyes is lower than the other?

Question

I realized that one of my eyes is lower than the other. Could I get Botox or surgery. If so which option would be better for me?

Ptosis (droopiness) of the eyelids can be addressed with a ptosis surgery.  It will be best to consult a board certified facial plastic surgeon in person and discuss your goals and options after a physical examination.

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

You appear to have ptosis.  This is a condition where a muscle in the upper eyelid becomes weakened and it allows the eyelid to fall lower across the eyeball than it should.  This condition can be corrected with a surgical procedure.  I would consult with an oculoplastic surgeon or a surgeon experienced in ptosis repair.

You have bilateral upper eyelid ptosis with a compensatory brow elevation. You will need an anterior levator ptosis correction with crease lowering and an anchor blepharoplasty. The very popular mueller's muscle conjunctival resection ptosis surgery will not be right for you in my opinion. You need a detailed personal assessment. You are looking for an aesthetically oriented oculoplastic surgeons who is also a board certified ophthalmologist.
