Is there a surgery to help my big eye/little eye situation? (Photo)

tiana loveJul 13, 2017
Hi, so for some time now my eyes have been really bugging me. Every time when I take pictures and think I look great my eyes say otherwise! Every time I smile my big eye little situation is more visible and its really annoying. I try to squeeze the eye thats open the most a little bit to try and make them look symmetrical but it still looks weird. Is there any treatment or surgeries to help this? Also when I look up, you can notice that my right eye slightly cocked and off from the other eye.

You are very close to your goal. Only the lateral third of your lid shows a pretarsal platform. As we age, the lid fold and brows descend. In time you will probably have the precise look you desire. Two thoughts - one is to lower the crease of the lateral eyelid, and the second, less invasive...

Looking at the photos it appears like you have some fullness to your upper lids, although not an excessive amount of skin. botox can help to lift and reshape the brows and can elevate some of the tissue off you lids, but as you noted, it is not a permanent fix. blepharoplasty surgery is not...

Usually this gets better with time but without an in person exam, it is impossible for us to look at a photograph and determine...
