38, what could make my uneven eyelids more symmetrical? (Photos)

Question

I'm 38 years old and for years my eyelids have been uneven. My left eyelid has always been slighty bigger than the right eyelid. It has worsened with age and appears worse when I'm tired. My right eyelid has always appeared to have more lax skin above it. What procedure(s) could make my eyelids more symmetrical.

Hello @jennv2685, thank you for your question! Yes you would definitely benefit from transconjunctival lower eyelid surgery to remove the excess of fat in the area and upper blepharoplasty to remove the excess of skin and give the eyes a lively expression.The best course of action is to consult one or several board certified plastic surgeo ore information and options tailored specifically to your needs. Best wishes!

Your eyebrows are asymmetrical as well as your upper eyelids.  You may benefit from a browlift to lower your hairline and correct your eyebrows and this may also correct your upper eyelid skin or you may benefit from an upper blepharoplasty.

It's hard to tell because these aren't standard photos where you're looking directly at the camera, but I recommend you find an oculoplastic surgeon to discuss either ptosis repair or evening out of your tarsal platforms .
