Will eyelid surgery fully fix my uneven eyes? (Photo)

Question

Didn't have this problem as a kid but ever since i was a teen i noticed my left eye was droopy compared to right. I understand its probably because of the extra hooding on it, but is it ptosis? And is my eye going to be fully even after doing the surgery?

Thank you for your query. It is not clear if you have ptosis, based on your single photograph. However if you do have ptosis, it can easily be fixed with  ptosis surgery. Please find an experienced board certified Plastic surgeon who can examine you and help you with all your concerns . All the best!

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.​

Your single picture is insufficient to make a quality assessment. Based on the picture you provided I don’t see a clear indication for surgical intervention.
I suggest having a few in person consultations with plastic surgeons, facial plastic surgeons or oculoplastic surgeon’s. All people have some facial asymmetry as baseline.
