In these photos it appears that you may have a condition called eyelid ptosis (droopy eyelid). It seem to be mild and only on the basis of in person evaluation this came be confirmed. Consultation with a board certified plastic or oculoplastic surgeon is recommended. Hope this helps.
It appears you have microptosis of the left upper lid. Often when one eyelid is low the brow tries to compensate and pulls up (frontalis over action). This effectively makes the eyelid look longer compared to the other side. This can be fixed by raising the lid to improve symmetry.
Do not have ptosis surgery with reconstructive surgery. You need aesthetic ptosis surgery. That means that you can't just go to any surgeon who does ptosis surgery. The aesthetic result will very much matter here. The most popular ptosis surgery, the posterior approach Mueller's muscle conjunctival resection (Muellerectomy) will not be the right surgery for you. You have a progressive bilateral central levator disinserion that is more progressed on the left side. You have bilateral eyebrow compensation but stronger compensation of the left eyebrow. When the ptosis is corrected, the eyebrows would be expected to relax to a more symmetric position. This is best done through a crease lowering incision with anterior levator resection ptosis surgery and anchor blepharoplasty to support the upper eyelid lashes. If you are using an eyelash growth serum containing prostaglandins, stop these immediately. They will make cause loss of fat in the eyelids which will make you look worse. Do not get "blepharoplasty" for this. Blepharoplasty is surgery that resects the upper eyelid fold and removed eyelid volume. This surgery would be a terrible mistake. There is no substitute for a detailed in person assessment. Your eyes can be your best feature.
Based on your pictures, it looks like you would be a good candidate for an upper blepharoplasty. Make sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon well versed with that procedure.Best of luck !
Facial asymmetry is more normal than most people realize. This is true for all parts of the face, including my position, brown position and eyelids.To assess eyelids properly we generally prefer a dynamic examination which is better done in person than using pictures. Most people will have a dominant eye and depending how are you hold your head or which eyeball someone is focusing with can change the perception of eyelid ptosis.If your condition bothers you enough that you’re willing to have surgery and schedule if you in person, consultations with local plastic surgeons, facial plastic surgeons, or oculoplastic surgeon in your community. It’s good to get a formal assessment, including a definitive understanding of potential unilateral eyelid ptosis. Surgery may not get to perfect symmetry, but can open up one eyelid if the eyelid is hanging lower than the other side.Unilateral eyelid ptosis is not straightforward and you should be working with plastic surgeons who have a lot of experience doing this kind of surgery.Having mild facial asymmetry is not a good indication for having surgery.Best,Mats Hagstrom, MD
Each part of the face is always judged in context to the surrounding areas. Despite your desire to maintain anonymity, we need to see proper facial pictures to make a good assessment. I suggest either re-posting with a set of proper facial pictures. You can look at how plastic surgeons take...
It’s difficult to give a definitive diagnosis of your facial skin lesion. I suggest having a few in person, consultations with local dermatologist to get the ideology of this skin lesion. Once you have a working diagnosis, you can consider treatment options. Best, Mats Hagstrom, MD
Call people have facial asymmetry, and this includes eye position and eyelids. Examination for unilateral eyelid ptosis is usually more of a dynamic assessment. Meaning we need to see you in person and examine you during movement. A single picture can capture an appearance that is not accurate...
