Severe asymmetrical eyebrows & eyes, what can I do? (Photo)

Question

I'm bothered because of my eyebrow asymmetry. One eyebrow looks noticably higher than the other and it makes my face look off. My eyelids are also asymmetrical, one eyelid has more exposure compared to the other one. I would like to know what i can do and which procedures would work the best in my case.

C. Blake Perry, MD · Answer

The appearance of your eyelids depends upon the lid height, brow position, and surrounding soft tissue. Often one eyelid is lower than the other and your brow tries to compensate by pulling up more on the droopy side. This creates an asymmetrical eyelid platform. Surgery is often to use to correct the asymmetry but you need an in person consultation. Best to see an eyelid expert.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

It would be difficult to give you more detailed evaluation based on this photo, unfortunately. In most cases brow asymmetry can be treated with brow lift. In person consultation. With a board certified plastic surgeon is recommended. Good luck

Thank you for your question and photo.Brow asymmetry is often due to ptosis on the same side as the higher brow from a central neurological response. Unfortunately you have posted one photo which is from a skew angle making this hard to detect from that one photo alone. You need to make an appointment with an ASOPRS affiliated Oculoplastic surgeon who is skilled in detailed lid evaluation.
