Hi there,We all have facial asymmetries. These asymmetries in the orbit can lead to cosmetically obvious features. This can manifest as upper or lower eyelid asymmetries, asymmetry in orbital volume, asymmetry in globe (eyeball) position. You should seek out an orbital evaluation to make sure there is no pathology causing the asymmetry, such as a traumatic defect of the orbital bones, Graves' disease, or an orbital tumor (just to name a few causes). If these are ruled out, then there are two options: One is to address the orbit by reconstructing bony issues or addressing volume asymmetries with orbital volume implants or injections. The other option is to camouflage the asymmetry by manipulating the eyelid positions. In most mild cases of asymmetry of the orbit, eyelid surgery alone can be quite effective in providing a satisfactory aesthetic result.Hope this is helpful to you, and good luck!
Greetings! To answer your question, it is possible to only need eyelid surgery on one side if there is asymmetry and you are bothered only by that side. But first you should be evaluated as to why you are asymmetric. Natural asymmetry, history of trauma or facial fractures, chronic sinusitis and Thyroid Eye disease are some important factors that can affect eyelid symmetry and Cause a sunken appearance. A consultation with an oculoplastic surgeon who is experienced in the evaluation and treatment of aesthetic and functional conditions around the eye would be very helpful for you.
