One eye is more open than other, What procedure(s) do you recommend? (Photo)

Asked By:Exuberant8991 in Chicago, Illinois

Hello! One of my eyes are more open than the other and I do understand that it is a ptosis issue. Would I be able to match the bigger eye to the smaller eye, as I find that side more aesthetically pleasing? Maybe this is because the more open eye seems more droopy in the bottom eyelid. A guess of mine would be to do some sort of brow lift on the droopy side and do a procedure that fixes the droop on my bottom eyelid on the wider eye’s side. What procedures would you recommend for my issue?Thanks

Answer: I don't think you understand the full effect of your upper eyelid ptosis.
