How Much Would It Cost to Correct Orbital Asymmetry AS WELL AS "Hollow Eye Syndrome,"and Dark Circles? It's 2-3 Procedures, Yes?

NCR22May 8, 2012
One of my eyes is deeper set than the other, causing that side of my face to sit lower. Initially, I thought it was simply that the left eyebrow was placed lower, but now I realize that the left eyelid sags, and the eye it's self is simply placed lower on my face. I doubt you can change orbital structure, but I would like to correct the brow position, and lid sagging on the lower placed eye, as well as hollowness in BOTH eyes. Would a brow lift correct the VERY minimal upper lid sagging as well? How much would this cost?

First of all, I agree with Dr. Shumway that you should proceed carefully as you have very pretty eyes by most anyone's standards! Each one of us is our own worst critic, especially if someone else has "alerted" us with a casual or offhand remark about some tiny asymmetry. Bad or incorrect...

Eye bulginess is called proptosis. A droopy eyelid is called ptosis. They are very different problems. Eyeglass where cannot correct either problem.   Unfortunately, unless you have photographs, it is hard for us to give you an accurate recommendation.

It looks like you still have some swelling that could be hiding your results. It's best if you wait a few more weeks for the swelling to subside before you assess your results.
