Which procedure would help correct eye asymmetry due to plagiocephaly?

ScarletWallenNov 28, 2023
My eyes are very asymmetrical due to Plagiocephaly. One is bigger than the other, one is shifted downwards. I know the one on the left also has some ptosis of the eyelid so I can at least fix that. But is there anything I can do to make the eyes more symmetrical besides that? I really really wish the left eye matched the right (the one with the freckle under it). I hate my left eye so much. I just want it to look big and lined up like my right eye. I really hope there is something I can do.

Facial asymmetry is normal, and the human brain is a custom to...
