Hello, Im 28 yrs old and when I was born, I developed a deep hemangioma over my R eye lid. In 1992, I had it comestically removed. Now, 20yrs later, Im getting older.. So my eyes are not looking as symetric and I have an "lazy eye" look. its not bad, but I can tell and it makes me self conscience. Is it possible that I would only need surgery on my R eye to make it match the L eye... OR would that require surgery on both eyes? Is eye lid surgery per eye like lazer surgery or one set price?
