I have upper eyelid asymmetry that results in my right eye looking more hooded than the left. Ideally, I'd love for both eyes to have the same lifted look that my left eye has. However, I'm skeptical of a unilateral blepharoplasty due to scarring, possible bad outcomes, etc. I've had no prior cosmetic procedures including Botox or fillers. Are there alternatives to an invasive procedure that would produce the desired symmetry? And if not, would blepharoplasty be recommended?

Answer: Asymmetry Botox can give you a conservative brow lift but is temporary. I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation. At times a blepharoplasty is needed, sometimes it's a brow lift, or it could be a combination of both. I've included a video that I hope you find helpful.

Answer: Non-Surgical Chemical Brow Lift for Eyelid Rejuvenation -- add Ultherapy, Thread Lifting, RF Skin Tightening, Laser Treatments 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.

Answer: Eyelid treatments Thanks for your question and the photo you provided. Since you have never had cosmetic procedures before, you may want to start off with a non-surgical method first. You can try thermismooth to the more hooded eye to help produce collagen and elastin in the area. If you like that look, feel comfortable with the office, you can discuss more permanent treatment options. Since you are fair skinned, the scarring should be minimal after you heal from an upper blepharoplasty. Make sure you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!
