Hi Doctors, I have taken a few pics of mine recently and I am noticing that one of my eyes is larger than the other.. Though in normal day to day life, I hadnt realised it. It is more clear iin the photos. Is there any natural or exercises I can do to make it better? I am 23 years old and would not like to do surgery.

Answer: Asymmetric eyes Good question. If you look closely, almost everyone has some degree of facial asymmetry. In fact, people with complete facial symmetry often have a slightly visually "odd" appearance to our brains. You are certainly correct, your right eye appears slightly larger than the left, but overall it is quite difficult to tell unless looking closely. I would make sure that this is not something that has progressed or changed over time as it can be a marker of underlying eye issues (ptosis), though I think this is less likely. If this is mostly bothersome in photos, then there are certainly ways to address this (ie closing both eyelids slightly to compensate). As far as non-surgical options, I would be hesitant to suggest that anything will make a noticeable difference as this is such a subtle difference to start with.

Answer: Facial Sculpting Candidate -- Fillers, Threads, Fat Transfer, Implants, See an expert It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Asymmetric eyes First off, asymmetry if very common and mild degrees of asymmetry is normal. However, if you think the appearance of your eyes are CHANGING, you should have an eye exam as it could be one of the following reasons:1- Eyelid malposition: sometimes one eyelid can droop or become retracted depending on the underlying cause 2- Globe malposition: the eye can become bulgy in certain eye conditions (eg. Graves) or retracted in other conditions (eye socket enlargement)

Answer: Eyelid Asymmetry Most people have some degree of asymmetry between the two eyes. Your left eye looks a little smaller than the right. This can be caused by a weakness in the muscle that opens the eye. If this is a new change or a concern. I would suggest that you consult with an oculoplastic doctor.
