Options for asymmetrical eyes? (Photo)

Question

Hi, what procedures are out there to help mitigate/correct this type of eye asymmetry. It seems my left eye is smaller/shaped differently.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

We are all asymmetrical to some degree and you certainly fall within a normal range.  Botox and fillers are helpful tools to improve asymmetry that can provide temporary, non surgical improvement.  We also recommend using medical grade skin care products like Transform MD and wearing sunscreen every day to keep delicate skin around the eyes healthy.

Facial asymmetry is normal and present in all people.
The primary asymmetry is typically based on bone structure not on soft tissues.
The human brain is accustomed to seeing people as being asymmetrical and for that reason mild asymmetry should not be treated.
Correcting your asymmetry would require changing your skull structure.
During embryological development, the human face develops each side independently from each other, and they eventually fuse in the midline.
All people have a symmetry.
If you look at computer generated symmetrical faces, you may recognize they have an odd and unfamiliar appearance.
This is because no one has a symmetrical face.
Best,
