Am I crosseyed/are my eyelids uneven? Having issues with double vision. (Photos)

I’ve started to notice my eyelids getting uneven throughout the years and it’s quite noticeable when I smile. I am half Asian and a few people on the Asian side of my family have uneven lids as well. I also started to notice that my eyes seem to go in different directions, and I get double vision instantly when I try to focus on something specific. Is there a way to fix my uneven eyelids without surgery (perhaps through injections) and is there a reason I’m getting double vision?

The main reason for your eye asymmetry appears to be vertical eyeball orbit asymmetry. It is nearly impossible to fix but improvement may be possible. Examination is needed.

Thank you for your question. There are many things you can do to treat under eye bags, but a combination approach with nonsurgical treatments would give the most improvement: fillers (Belotero, Juvederm Volbella), lasers (Fraxel/CO2), Renuvion (J-Plasma), microneedling/PRP, Cosmelan peels and ...

It appears you still have mild asymmetric upper lid ptosis which may or may not candidate for revision ptosis surgery. Examination is required. See an oculoplastic surgeon.

Thanks for the question.  You have malar edema, which occurs occasionally, especially when you have a crease from the eyelid corner across the cheek.  Although it takes time to resolve, it will.  Limit your salt intake and sleep with your head elevated!

I understand that you appear to have an angry appearance after your upper blepharoplasty 12 years ago.  I would say the factor that most influences your angry appearance are the frown lines between your eyebrows.  This is something that is normally easily improved with Botox.  I would co...

Unfortunately, tThe area that opened (dehisced), looks like it will not heal optimally.  If no scabbing or crusting forms without ointment, no ointment is necessary.  Its very likely that you will need a small touch up procedure, but you need to let all the swelling abate first.  There is a sma...
