Asymmetrical lid/lash concerns. Is there hope? Can realistic outcomes be achieved? (Photo)

Asked By:rxcharx in El Monte, California

1. Inadequate palpebral fissure height (history of posterior and anterior ptosis repair by the same surgeon) *Note the diminished corneal light reflex. 2. Lash malposition which gives the appearance of a more exposed and naked lid and obstructs the upper eye. 3. Weak crease definition that lacks the depth and boldness of the other eyelid crease, and the crease doesn’t extend fully to connect with the epicanthal fold. 4. Lid margin contour 5. Ultimately, I want my good eyelid to mirror what my faulty eyelid should be with its thinner, less protruded and more blended look which I believe the lashes play a crucial role in filling them. I also want the more obvious blepharoptosis to be repaired after two unsatisfactory attempts. Can my multifaceted eye cosmetic concerns be effectively addressed through modern-day surgical techniques, and are there any oculoplastic surgeons who can confidently deal with my anatomy given prior procedures done?
