Si, a few months ago I noticed this about myself. I don't know if it wasn't aware of it before or if it's new. As you can see in the picture one side of my face is totally different from the other one. I can only see this when I take a picture of myself, I can't notice it when I'm looking at myself in the mirror. What can I do to fix it? Is there a name for it? Could italso be possible that it's because I wear glasses and my right eye is in worst condition that the left one?
Answer: Perfectly natural facial asymmetry and a Mirror experiment! Everyone has some sort of facial asymmetry. Usually one side of their face is the 'dominant' or larger side which manifests as a slightly higher brow position, more open looking eye and slightly longer jaw pushing the chin point to the opposite side. This is your right side.

Answer: Asymmetricface Facial asymmetry is a normal occurrence for most people. There are various degrees of facial asymmetry. The question becomes when is facial asymmetry abnormal? That varies according to circumstances and anatomy. But back to your question. It appears you have several things occurring. First your right eyebrow is higher than your left. This is probably either genetic, or you have developed more drooping on the left slowly over time. The right eyelid seems to be slightly more droopy than the left, causing the left eye to look larger. It appears that you have asymmetric orbital fullness. This right orbit appears to have less fullness than the left, causing the eyeball to every so slightly sink. This lets the eyelid fall ever so slightly causing the asymmetry and the appearance that the left eye is larger. Both asymmetric appearances can be corrected with surgery. You can have an endoscopic eyebrow lift to even the eyebrows. As for the eyelids, a levator muscle repair, or a muellers muscle repair can be performed to even out the problem.

Answer: Eyelid surgery Hello and thank you for your excellent question. It is very difficult to make an accurate diagnosis on the basis of your photo alone, but you may have slight ptosis of the right eye. Surgical correction with a levator muscle advancement on that side could be an option. It is essential that you have an in-person consultation to develop a treatment plan that specifically addresses your personal surgical goals, and your body’s anatomy. Preoperative visualization and surgical simulation with the Crisalix system may help refine this plan. I recommend that you find a board-certified, or board-eligible plastic surgeon with whom you are comfortable. Be sure to have all of your questions answered during a face-to-face meeting with your surgeon, and review before and after pictures of similar patients whom have had this procedure. If you have any questions, call our office for assistance. Good luck!
