I suffer from migraines, and my eyes are always flickering (both eyes) mainly the left, bottom eyelid but it happens with both my eyes and not always in the same place.
Answer: Asymmetric brows Subtle asymmetry of the brows is common. I would suggest a full evaluation by plastic or facial plastic surgeon. This can usually be manage with Botox, the effect of course is temporary and will require injections every 3-4 months.

Answer: Asymmetry of eyelids Thanks for your question. The fact that you experience migrane headaches may or may not be related to the asymmetry of your eyes and eyebrows. I tend to think that it is unrelated, but you never know until you get a formal examination by a neurologist with extensive experience in diagnosing and treating migrane headaches. Flickering eyes, or what I assume are minor spasms of the muscles that move the lids and brows, can be completely normal, and I must say, I've experienced them as well. Truth be told, you used to worry me as well, but after some careful research I stopped worrying as I found out it is completely normal and inconsequential to eye form and function. The asymmetry of the lids and brows that you point out, and looking at the pictures provided, is most likely completely normal, and does not fall into any pathological category. If you want to be completely certain, however, it is best to visit a Board-certified plastic surgeon, preferably with experience in eyelid and eyebrow surgery. It is fairly common to see eyelid ptosis, that is eyelid drooping, that can be congenital (from birth) or acquired (from trauma or another inciting event). Again, the only person who can determine that is a qualified physician with knowledge and experience in making this diagnosis. From the evidence provided here it seems that you do not have that. Hope this helps. Take care and good luck.
