My eyes are uneven/different size, are there any surgery/procedures that can fix it? (Photo)

Question

I’ve always had quite asymmetrical looking eyes, one is definitely lower and smaller than the other. Is there any kind of surgery to perhaps make them look the same. I understand I can’t do much about the height difference but more interested in the shape.

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.​

Good afternoon,
Thank you for your question. You have a condition called Ptosis. It is when the upper eyelid droops over the eye. It sometimes droops so much that it covers the pupil which is your case. This condition not only limits normal visison , it may also affects the persons self esteem. Treatment means surgery. During the surgery,  the excess skin is removed  and  the muscle that lifts the lid is tucked muscle can be reattached and strenghtened.

Hello, thank you for your question. I would consult with your plastic surgeon about doing a reconstructive eyelid surgery blepharoplasty with tarsal strip repair. Its not just the excess skin that needs to be excised there is a bit more to it.
