I Have Uneven Eyes. Is There a Procedure to Fix This? (photo)

capriciousSep 11, 2012
My right eye is higher than my left. Similar to Shannon Doherty's, though maybe not quite as pronounced. But it bothers me... In fact, the whole right side of my face seems (to me, at least) very disproportional to the left. I've heard that how your jaw develops over the years and sets in your skull may affect this. Whatever the answer, is there surgery to correct this, and how much would it cost? Included is a picture of Shannon's eyes, and mine, so you get the idea.

It's too early to tell. Wait at least 6 months to begin judging the final aesthetic result.  Your appearance will change significantly over the next 6-12 weeks, as your swelling/bruising resolve. Warmest Regards, Asif Pirani, MD, FRCS(C)

I see what you're commenting on; however, a this point all you can do is wait and see what happens.  If at the 6 month mark you can still see a crease below the incision, you should discuss revision with your surgeon.  I wouldn't suggest a revision before this time point, however....

Dear Kami, Your tear trough implant placed 4 years ago has apparently only partially corrected your tear trough defect.  At this stage, I would leave implant in place, go in through a lower eyelid incision, go down to the inferior medial orbital rim, release the tissue attached to that...

Tithe condition is called chemosis and in almost all cases resolves with time and lubrications such as artificial tears.   I would schedule a follow up with your surgeon over the next few weeks

Yes, a nice side effect of injecting botox into the forehead is to lower the eyebrows temporarily.  A surgical approach is to perform an upper eyelid blepharoplasty and that will help to a degree.  eyelid laser or peel could also tighten the eyelid skin and get some effect of lowering the brows.

Hi   I agree with other posters. It's very important to make sure tht you do not have an underlying medical condition   OOnce your health is certain I would guess that you could get a very soft and natural result with fillers. I usually use a combination of the patients...
