What is causing my droopy eye? (photo)

Jemand4722Feb 12, 2014
I have noticed recently when I take pictures I have one eye that looks droopy. I have asked my husband if he notices it when he is looking at me and he says he cannot see one eye droopy. But, clearly in pictures one eye looks different. What is causing this? What kind of doctor should I go to? How do I fix it?

The typical healing process from this procedure is 2-3 weeks where you will have visible bruising and swelling.  This of course depends on the patient and how they tend to heal.  You should start seeing results in terms of better positioning of the upper eyelid by about that time.

Hi. Dermal fillers are very safe, but are only temporary, lasting 4-6 months. You should always have something temporary first to see whether you like the effect. If you like the effect then there are longer lasting fillers, which can last up to 18 months or so. Dermal fillers have been around...

It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.
