Would Botox help with my uneven eyes? (Photo)

Question

I noticed that my eyes are asymmetrical. My right eye is smaller than the left one, and the left eye seems to be more open. I also noticed it is lower than my right eye. Would Botox help me even out my right eye?

Mitchel Goldman, MD · Answer

You could get a more open look on your right eye by relaxing the lower lid with just a touch of Botox. This is a delicate procedure, so you will need to shop around for an expert. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist who can demonstrate his or her expertise in changing eye shape with Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin.

Botox can help with eyebrow asymmetry. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to go over your desired results. Botox results resolve in 3-4 months. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question.Botox does not change the position or opening of the eyes. It can help to elevate the brows, the picture you posted is crooked. I would recommend having an in person evaluation to discuss your concerns and what options you have.

I don’t believe Botox will help. It’s not designed to change the opening of the lids. Good luck, Dr. Aldo

Botox will not change the position of the eyes or the bony eye socket (orbit). Botox can, however, help with brow asymmetry, which I see fairly commonly in patients who compensate for facial asymmetries. It is impossible to tell from the photo provided whether this would be helpful or not. Keep in mind that facial symmetries are very common.
Be sure to see an expert physician injector.
All the best,

Thank you for your question. It is difficult to say without a consultation. While botox will help with brow asymmetry, I'm not sure if this would address your concern. I would suggest a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. I hope this helps!

First, we all are asymmetrical and this is to our advantage. You face on the photo is tilted and appears your left eye is lower. If you adjust the horizontal position of your eyes using a simple graphic editor this illusion disappears. However, you definitely have a different apertures on one side. My recommendations are quite different that my colleagues. Yes, Botox/Xeomine or Dysport can definitely increase the eye's aperture! It should be enough to place just 1 single unit of Botox in the lower eyelid of the most proximal aspect of the palpebral part of the right OO muscle. At your age it should definitely work well and will very gently lower the level of the right lower eyelid edge!  The dose can be adjusted in minute increments to avoid creating an excessive laxity of the lid. This would be the very first step at a minimal cost ( 1 unit should not cost more than $ 13-15). If for some reason there is no improvement, then I would seek recommendations from an Oculoplastic Surgeon. Small doses of Botox can do wonders in many areas of the face. Unfortunately, there is minimal interest in administering small doses and charge per number of units for obvious reasons. It is very easy to convince patient that it will not work. It never works if you don't try. There are much higher chances someone will do it if the charges are not per unit but by the area. Good luck!

It is difficult to say if botox will address your concerns.  The picture that you posted offers a limited view of the area.  Botox will help with brow asymmetry but will not change the size of your eyes.  You should have a consultation with an experienced provider who can best advise you.

Shaun Patel, MD · Answer

I don't think Botox or Dysport will help in your case. It can be used to improve eyebrow asymmetry but it not for changing the size of the eye opening.

Mark T. Boschert, MD · Answer

Botox is used to stop muscles from moving and therefore reduce lines on your face. It can also be used to modify the shape of the eyebrow. I do not think that is your real issue. I would suggest seeing a board-certified plastic surgeon or an ophthalmologist that deals with eyelids. You might have a small amount of potosi s that could be addressed.  I would definitely suggest seeing an expert rather than just letting someone tried Botox for you. Best of luck! Dr. Boschert
