Question

I have always have uneven eyes and I would really like to get them fixed. I would like to know an estimate about how much they cost and what procedure would be best for me

Sana Ali, MD · Answer

you would need lower eyelid surgery on the right side and likely a lift of the muscle for both upper lids; costs range from 4500-7000, depending on your location.

Thank you for your question and pictures! It appears you may have ptosis which would need to be corrected by a specialist.  The average cost of this procedure can be anywhere from $2,000- $5,000. Upper eyelid hooding and Asymmetries can be corrected with blepharoplasty or cosmetic eyelid surgery. It is one of the first cosmetic surgeries people usually get. Treatment plans usually are based on your specific anatomy and should be addressed at your consultation appointment.

Botox injections as well as laser treatments can also be a tremendous benefit if you are not interested in surgery. Of course, there are also many combinations.

The recovery & downtime is very minimal. There are usually no drains, most people can go out the same day, you can shower the next day and most patients take no pain medicine. There are never any guarantees of course with any procedure whether it is surgical or nonsurgical in nature.

I would recommend that you see a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area that is a member of both ASPS & ASAPS and performs a lot of eyelid lifts but also offers all the nonsurgical options such as injectables and laser treatments. Go over your concerns with them and make sure above all, you walk out of there with several options and an idea of the pros and cons to each of them as well as realistic expectations.

Eyelid asymmetry can be due to multiple etiologies. The appearance of the eyes depend on the eyelid height and function, brow position, and surrounding soft tissue. It appears your right upper lid is higher than the left causing asymmetry of your eyelid platform. You need an in person consultation to discuss possible solutions.

One possible treatment is left upper eyelid ptosis surgery but it is important to have more detailed evaluation to determine. See an oculoplastics expert.
