Uneven eyes - what could be the cause? (Photo)

Question

I want to know why I have uneven eyes I do have one of my k9 teeth that grew too high on the side of my face that has the higher eye but I am not sure if this could be the cause or if it’s just my cheek bone

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

Asymmetry in facial features, including eyes, is very common and can be attributed to a variety of factors, such as genetics, bone structure, muscle development, and even lifestyle habits. In your case, the elevated canine tooth could contribute to the asymmetry you’re observing.

Sometimes, dental issues or jaw misalignment can affect the way your face looks, including the positioning of your eyes. Additionally, differences in cheekbone height or muscle tone can also lead to uneven eyes.

It can be corrected surgically. You may need a blepharoplasty, brow lift or facial fat transfer. A consultation would be required to assess your face and eyes.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !

Neither the human face nor the human body is symmetrical.
During embryological development, the two sides of the face develop independently from each other, and eventually fused in the midline. The human face is not symmetrical on anyone, and most people have the same degree of asymmetry that you do.
This is normal
Great artists throughout history have been aware of human facial asymmetry and have incorporated this into all great works of art.
