Not quite sure if right eye is now too big or left eye is now droopy? (Photos)

Question

Now ptosis or eyelid retraction. My Problem was that my left Eye was too open. Except for when I was very tired / sleepy than it was looking like a ptosis. I had surgery on my lower eyelids cause I had visible scleral show. They used the transconjunctival technique for that. After that my eyes looked a little better but my left eye was still open at the upper lid. So in October 2021 I got surgery to fix my left upper eyelid. Now I’m not quite sure if my right eye is now too big or my left eye is now droopy. (Or swollen)

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

As we age, our eyelids naturally sag and droop. A combination approach would be best to see visible improvement. In terms of non-surgical treatment options, I would recommend a Chemical Brow Lift (using Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Jeuveau) and filler injections to rejuvenate the temples, eyebrow, eyelid, eye troughs, upper eye hollows, and forehead. I typically combine this with Ultherapy and thread lifting to lift the brow; RF and skin tightening laser treatments to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin; and laser or superficial RF devices for improvements in texture, color, and any crepey skin around the eyes as needed. In some cases, surgery is the best solution to achieve the desired results. See an expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer.​
