Answer: You have bilateral upper eyelid ptosis. The right upper eyelid is droopier than the left but both are affected. You have a levator aponeurosis disinsertion ptosis. This is repaired with a procedure call upper eyelid ptosis surgery. Oculoplastic surgeons like posterior approach ptosis surgery but you are likely to do better with an anterior approach ptosis surgery. There is no substitute for a detailed personal assessment.

Answer: Facial torsion So everyone is a little asymmetrical. In your case this seems from this one photo to be a mild case of facial torsion where the eft side of your face is longer slightly than the right. I suspect your chin points a little right and your nose may even have a slight curve on it. It is almost impossible to treat unfortunately and in a mild case like yours I would not recommend it. Apologies but I hope that helps. Adam Goodwin

Answer: Eyelid Thank you for your question. There are a variety of factors both static and dynamic that can affect eyelid position. These are best determined with an in-person exam and consultation. I suggest you see a fellowship trained Oculoplastic Surgeon or Plastic surgeon for an exam. This would provide the best chance of evaluation your issues.
