What can be done for my eyes to look more symmetrical? (Photo)

Question

I have noticed that my left eye has became more and more droopy. Can it be for wearing soft contact lenses? I haven't been diagnosed with ptosis but I think it is obvious? What has to be done in my case, is it more than one thing that I have to done? Thank you.

As we age, our eyelids naturally sag and droop. A combination approach would be best to see visible improvement. In terms of non-surgical treatment options, I would recommend a Chemical Brow Lift (using Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Jeuveau) and filler injections to rejuvenate the temples, eyebrow, eyelid, eye troughs, upper eye hollows, and forehead. I typically combine this with Ultherapy and thread lifting to lift the brow; RF and skin tightening laser treatments to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin; and laser or superficial RF devices for improvements in texture, color, and any crepey skin around the eyes as needed. In some cases, surgery is the best solution to achieve the desired results. See an expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer.​

Hi. First of all, you need to start by lifting your eyebrows. Your eyebrows are very low. After removing the sagging of your upper eyelids, you can gain a symmetrical appearance with a cat-eye look. There is also ptosis, this also needs to be corrected. It is not very serious, a 2-3mm support is enough. You can also book an online consultation and discuss your problems with me. With all respect.

Hi there! It is possible that you have ptosis. An Ophthalmologist would be a good starting point as that procedure can provide dramatic improvement and may be needed before other cosmetic options are tried. If the upper brow is low as well, you may consider trying a neurotoxin like Botox or Dysport in the crow's feet area. This can provide some lifting of the brow, though the results are subtle. I don't believe that wearing contact lenses would cause the issue you're describing. More invasive options would be a brow lift or blepharoplasty. Hope this helps.
