Uneven eyes - what can I do to fix this? (Photo)

Question

Hello I have a question. In photos I’ve seen of myself I’ve noticed that my face always looked uneven when I look straight and for the longest I’ve been tryn figure out what’s off about my face. I noticed that it’s my eyes. One eyelid droop and it looks like one is bigger than the other. What can I do to fix this?

Although an in-person exam would be necessary to provide a definitive answer, based on the photo you have provided it does appear you would be a suitable candidate for an upper blepharoplasty to re-create a more even and defined crease. If you want the best idea of what is possible for your eyes, do your due diligence, find an experienced surgeon, and have him/her evaluate you in person and discuss your options. @drdonyoo

Hi!
If one of the upper eyelid is drooped compared to the other one we call this “one sided eyelid ptosis”. This can be corrected by a ptosis surgery.
Your photo does not reveal this situation alone, however if you can send some more photos and videos we can evaluate better. 
I hope I could answer your question.

Sana Ali, MD · Answer

the eyelids are often affected by the brow position; in your case, the right brow sits slightly lower than the left side which leads to an increase in the skin redundancy between the eyebrow and the upper eyelid (leading to an asymmetric look). I would see an oculoplastics specialist to either treat with botox to help lift the left brow or discuss performing a blepharoplasty to remove the excess upper eyelid skin.
