A blepharoplasty would not correct your problem. It appears thatyou have right eye ptosis. Ptosis may bepresent at birth (congenital) or caused later in life (acquired). It is caused by weakness of the levatormuscle that is used to lift the eyelid. A formal evaluation is essential andyou are likely a candidate for ptosis repair. I recommend you consult with an oculoplastic surgeon or a facial plasticsurgeon who is experienced in ptosis correction.
Your photo demonstrates a ptosis , or drooping of the right upper eyelid. In a young person this is most frequently present from birth or congenital, although there are other causes. The muscle that lifts the lid is either stretched or positioned too low at rest. If the muscle fuction is otherwise normal , this can be corrected by a simple procedure. This is not a blepharoplasty, but is done through the same incision. An experienced surgeon can determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
The right upper eyelid is more droopy then the left but if the right side is fixed without attention to the left side, after surgery, the left upper eyelid will look to heavy. This is known a Herring's law ptosis. One of the posters here suggests a Mueller's muscle conjunctival resection ptosis surgery. This is a very popular surgery with eyelid surgeons but it has a high of only partially addressing the upper eyelid ptosis. It also will not address another issue that you have which is upper eyelid lash ptosis. You have no support in the eyelid for the upper eyelid lashes. An anterior approach, levator resection ptosis surgery will create the opportunity to correct the ptosis and also address the upper eyelid lash ptosis with an anchor blepharoplasty. I recommend getting the right surgery the first time. Also, in my opinion, most people benefit from light intravenous sedation rather than just having the procedure under local anesthesia.
You don't need blepharoplasty but rather eyelid ptosis repair as one eyelid is droopy (ptosis). See an oculoplastic surgeon. The procedure can be done under local anesthesia in scarless fashion with quick recovery.
In your case you have a high crease and eye aperture is not as open suggesting eyelid ptosis on that side. That can be corrected with ptosis surgery through a blepharoplasty incision but an in person examination would be necessary to confirm.
Hello! Your right eye is more ptotic (droopier) than your left eye. It's kind of like the garage door hangs down lower on that side, and the attachment to the garage door opener needs to be tightened. That's exactly what ptosis surgery accomplishes. In fact, you could be treated with a one-sided behind-the-eyelid incision. This is a ten minute procedure under local anesthesia. What's more is that you might even qualify for insurance coverage. Go find a local oculoplastic surgeon and your vision as well as your aesthetic outlook will thank you forever. Good luck!
So it looks like you have an eyelid position problem, not an eye skin problem. This is called ptosis. It can be corrected but not by a simple blepharoplasty. Ask a local surgeon what they think but I suspect an eye surgery specialist will be the person most able to help you. Hope that helps. Adam Goodwin
It appears you actually have a ptosis (droopy eyelid) of the right upper eyelid, which is making the asymmetry apparent. You would likely want to have that right side elevated or have surgery on both sides to make them even.
Looking at the photos that you have provided I do not think a unilateral blepharoplasty would be the best choice for you. Although there is an increased eyelid fold on the left side, it appears based on the photos that you may have a small degree of eyelid ptosis on the right side, the ptotic eyelid will be slightly lower and tend to make any skin fold less noticeable. When evaluating eyelid asymmetry, the brow position as well as the presence or absence of any eyelid ptosis is critical.
Your "hooded" eye is the normal eyelid. You have ptosis in the other lid and can get just that ptotic lid repaired.
Thank you for your question. You may be experiencing swelling or bruising, which is common after surgery. Feel free to discuss recovery results, and healing progress with your surgeon.Best wishes,
Thank you for your question. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon. It will be important to discuss the work to your jaw, and to consider multiple approaches alongside eyelid procedures. Best wishes,
Under eye bags can be permanently corrected with surgery or temporarily camouflaged with fillers (Restylane, Belotero, Volbella).There are great non-surgical options to fill in under eye depressions and hollowness. Using dermal fillers, a liquid eye-lift can be performed. A dermal filler such ...
