It appears that you have eyelid ptosis on one possibly both sides. That is the reason for eyelid asymmetry; preoperative photos should show similar asymmetry. You should discuss this issue with your surgeon and/or seek a second opinion consultation about correction of ptosis. Hope this helps.
Surgeons are accustom to looking at pictures with you in the anatomic position. Commonly people confusingly reverse their photos to reflect what they look like in the mirror. I am going to discuss your eyelids on the assumption that you have not flipped the image and the eyelid with the high crease is your anatomic right eyelid and the more normal appearing eyelid is your left eyelid. The problem here is that there really is not such thing as "skin pinch" upper eyelid surgery. That does not mean that surgeons don't just pinch up skin and resect it. But that means that such a surgeon is ignoring the anatomic problems in the eyelid. Your right upper eyelid has collapsed because you have central levator disinsertion and associated mild upper eyelid ptosis. Do not get talked into having the left upper eyelid fold further resected to look like the right side. What you need is crease lowering reconstruction to reestablish the upper eyelid fold on the right side and I would likely encourage you to have the left side fixed as well. Your eyes can be your best feature.
It’s a little bit difficult to interpret what your concern is. Are you saying that a doctor pinching your eyelid left you permanently asymmetrical?If so, that seems highly unlikely.100% of people have a symmetry of their face, including the eyesockets and eyelids.During embryological development, each side of the face develops independently from the other side, and they eventually fused in the midline. Aesthetic ideas do not need to focus on symmetry. The human brain is accustomed to seeing all normal faces as being asymmetrical, because 100% of people are asymmetrical.If you look at computer generated, perfect symmetrical faces, they have an unfamiliar odd and unappealing appearance to most people. That probably has a lot to do with the fact that we’ve never seen a symmetrical face in real life. Even greater artist throughout history, Inc. facial asymmetry into classic works of art.Perhaps consider re-posting with a little bit better explanation what your concerns are, and what you’re hoping to get answered.Best,Mats Hagstrom, MD
According to your pictures, there is an obvious asymmetry in between left and right eyelids. Secondary blepharoplasty surgery can be done to fix this issue.
The position of the eyeball globin in the eyeball socket is determined by the size of the socket in comparison to its contents. If the socket is enlarged without compensation, such as with facial fractures the eyeball will sit deeper(enophthalmos). Likewise, if tissue is removed, this will also...
It is difficult to detect asymmetry with the photo given. A facial plastic surgeon's office can take standardized photos to assess the face in a systematic fashion (controlled lighting, facial position, background). That said, everyone has asymmetry of the bones of the face. The eye and the...
I recommend botulinum toxin (there are multiple brands, so use which ever works best for you). There is a thickening of the muscle along your lower eye lid (orbicularis oculi). It is sometimes called a "jelly roll" This can become thinner if you get botulinum toxin every 3 months for a few years...
