Do I have misaligned eyes? One eye looks like it’s staring. What can I do? (photos)

Question

I had double eyelid surgery and now one eye looks more open than the other. The surgeon said one eye sits farther back than my other one. He said that the eyelid surgery will help the appearance. I feel like all it did was make my eyes look worse. Do I have misaligned eyes? What can I do? I also have had pain behind the bigger eye and around the eyebrow. It almost feels like it’s protruding.

Ptosis is a droopiness of the upper eyelid. Sometimes this can become more noticeable after eyelid surgery. I believe that the asymmetry is slight, so in that regard, it may be best to just live with it. If it is more noticeable than your photographs suggest, consider meeting with a reputable oculoplastic surgeon. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Hello. I am very sorry about the unfortunate surgery you had. I say unlucky because he still left an angry look. The reason for this is that your eyebrows are not taken into consideration when your surgery is performed.

If you look at the lower corner of your eyebrow, there is still a skin fold there. To correct this, we can achieve the look you want with an upper eyelid revision and eyebrow lift. The outer parts of your lower eyelid are also pulling downwards, we call this scleral show, this will give you an aged appearance again in the near future, so it can be fix with small touch ups.
