Why Are my Eyes Shaped Like This? Abnormal (photo)

WhatswrongpleaseeApr 13, 2013
My eyes are weird and I have been wondering what is wrong and have been searching google but still can't find answers. My eye (my right eye, your left, viewing the picture) is shaped very oddly. The outer portion goes upward and the inner part curves down all weird. It's been like this for a long time. What on earth is wrong, is there a name for this and how can it be fixed? I am a 22 yr old female.

The area that you have highlighted with the two arrows demonstrates prolapsed orbital fat. That is the fat that should be around and behind the eye, but as we age, slowly pooches forward into the eyelids. You are correct in that occasionally, that area may also become more swollen. That...

Sometimes the medicated ointments can cause conjunctival irritation.  Still this can be normal for this stage after surgery.  I suggest an assessment by your ophthalmologist to determine the cause of the discharge.

I need to see better photographs of your eyes to give you a proper answer. My guess is that you probably need forehead lift to correct the problem that you have.

Thank you for your photographs.  Your incisions seem to be coming along very well.  I do not think you need to apply hydroquinone at this time.  Hydroquinone with not work on your bruise since it is blood stain versus melanin which is inside skin cells. Dr. ES
