Would an upper blepharoplasty or ptosis repair be the best option for correcting my asymmetrical eyes? (photos)

Honest382032Jun 13, 2024
I had two unfortunate infections that affected the level/natural fold of my eyelids resulting in them now being asymmetrical. On the right eye , I had a chalazion that lasted two years although I had tried to help it by getting 2 incisions and an injection and on the other eye (left) I had an abscess that had to get lanced right under my eyebrow which made my upper eyelid heavier and by consequence is pushing my fold down and I am now considering surgery to fix the asymmetry

I encourage you to visit with an expert injector near you for an evaluation. Botox and fillers can be used to improve this area and better balance your under eye area. These treatments are nonsurgical with results lasting several months.
