I'm in my late 30s but I only started noticing a few years ago that my eyes are shaped differently and uneven.
Looking back at old photos I guess it has always been there, but it seems to be getting worse. People around me tell me it's unnoticeable but I think they are just being nice. What is the cause and is there a fix?

Answer: Asymmetric eyes Everyone has facial asymmetry. It can be more noticeable as we age. Typically one eye is slightly larger than the other eye and that is completely normal. A blepharoplasty can help improve overall symmetry if done by the right technique. Be sure to seek a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon or oculoplastic surgeon with experience and expertise in eyelid surgery.

Answer: Eyes different sizes The shape and size of the eye is affected by many different structures around the eye, including the eyelids, brows, bony orbit, and cheeks. In the included photo, there appears to be some brow asymmetry with the right brow lower than the left, which subsequently makes the left upper lid appear more open. This is something that could be corrected with Botox to the forehead to even out the brows, which might also make the eyes appear more symmetric by lowering the left brow and consequently showing less of the left upper lid.

Answer: Uneven eyelids Many different situations can lead to uneven eyelids. Some of these can be treated non-surgically and conservatively, even using some very advanced injection techniques with filler or very precise placement of Botox. Some situations truly do require surgery to resolve.

Answer: Eye asymmetry This is much more common than one would think. If you look closely your left brow is higher than your right. I think that is the main difference. Again this is common if you look closely at many faces. A unilateral brow lift can help with this. It is possible you have a bony asymmetry that is underlying. Sometimes it can be a hypoplastic maxillary sinus. That just means the cavity in the middle of your face is smaller on one side than the other. It has no importance unless you are to under go a sinus surgery it should be noted. Hope this helps.Best of luck,DrC
