Hello, I have noticed that my right and left eye are very asymmetrical from each other. I am wondering if this is an eyeball problem or an eyelid problem. Ever since high school I have had a history of having heavy, droopy, and often twitching eyelids in one of my eyes. What procedures can I do to get rounder, more symmetrical eyes

Answer: You have ptosis Thank you for your question and photos. Your primary problem is upper eyelid ptosis. You also have very prominent bony brows. A ptosis repair might enhance your appearance. The twitching you describe requires more evaluation before any surgery is contemplated. An upper lid blepharoplasty with skin and fat removal really won't help you significantly and may worsen your appearance. You need to make an appointment with a fellowship trained ASOPRS affiliated Oculoplastic surgeon for an in person exam and consultation. Simple in office testing can help you to see what may be achieved with ptosis repair The twitching definitely cannot be adequately evaluated without a detailed history and physical exam. Best of luck
