Hoping to achieve more symmetry of my eyes after wedge excisions & 2 ptosis surgeries, advice? (Photo)

GERH8671May 18, 2024
Have had multiple procedures as a result of problems from an I&D of chalazion which caused a peaking of my eyelid margin of LUL. This occurred three years ago and as a result i have had 2 full-thickness wedge excisions of the LUL and two ptosis surgeries. It bothers me that my left eye appears smaller and my lower eyelid has become elevated. I am just hoping for even a fifty percent improvement.

Often the under eye hollows can be improved with surgery and/or fat grafting. Loose skin on your neck usually requires a lower facelift to improve. Best to see an expert for an in person consultation.

I'm not sure why your lipotransfer procedure did not produce favorable results for you. You may wish to consult with a reputable plastic surgeon about an injectable filler treatment for your congenital under eye grooves. Depending on your examination, Botox to your masseter muscles may be...

We typically do not make assessments based on dynamic expression. Try including some pictures of your eyelids without contracting the surrounding muscles. Consider contacting an oculoplastic surgeon to get options for surgical intervention. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD

Facial aesthetics are primarily determined by bone structure. It is genetic bone structure that differentiates your appearance with your wish picture. What you are requesting is not realistic or appropriate. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
