Can my eyes be evened out?
Thanks for posing the question. The symmetry of the eyes is a common concern with patients before and after surgery. Interestingly, your asymmetry here is not related as much to ptosis, which is a droop of the eyelid margin, but more so an asymmetry of the volume in the “sulcus”, the space between the eyelid margin and the brow. Your left eye has less volume and so it looks deflated, and the skin is folded onto itself. What you need to improve things is an upper blepharoplasty with attempts to not just remove more skin on one side, but even out the volume which can be done with fat repositioning of the upper eyelid, fat grafting, and other techniques. I recommend consultation with an oculofacial plastic surgeon with a lot of aesthetic eyelid experience.
It is relatively frequent to have small asymmetry in upper eyelid fold or position of lid margin after ptosis repair. You should consult your surgeon to see how to deal with this small asymmetry. Good luck.
