Asymmetrical eyes. Would it have to be a big procedure to fix this? (Photo)

Question

Everytime I see a picture of myself I notice the asymmetry of my eyes. It seems like one eye is way bigger than the other. I do not have any symptoms or pain. It's really starting to bother me and I'd like to fix it if possible. Would it have to be a big procedure or small? thank you

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello, hope you are well! This is an interesting problem. Looking at your eyes, the first thing that I notice is that you have a more prominent supratarsal (upper eyelid) crease on the right side (left side of the photo). Then I notice that your brow position is lower on that side. So, the underlying issue appears to be unilateral brow ptosis which causes a more closed appearance of the eye. If you push the skin of your forehead up a few millimeters it will reduce the crease and make your eyes appear more symmetric. We accomplish this surgically with a brow lift. There are a number of techniques, but my preferred approach is an endoscopic brow lift. It is a relatively straightforward procedure performed through small incisions in the hairline. Hope this helps!
Best,Dr. Tower
