Can I fix one eye that is more hooded than other? (Photos)

Thank you for your question and pictures. It is difficult to see much difference in your photos. There is always some degree of asymmetry in the face, which is normal. As you get older, this may become more noticeable. Usually one eye is not treated by itself unless it is a muscle problem. An examination by a board certified plastic surgeon would give you the best answer to you concerns. Good luck.

For significant improvement, hooded eyelids require surgery if there is enough skin. For nonsurgical treatments: Radiofrequency (Thermage or Venus Legacy/Viva), injectable fillers, and a Botox brow lift can help contour the eyebrows and lift the eyelid skin. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank  you for question.Regarding your photos it' s hard to evaluate your eyelid situation.Only after thorough examination you will get more information.
Best of luck to you.

You picture shows a very slight asymmetry. I think it is an early laxity. I think you would need to fix both sides, because it would be impossible to give you symmetry by operating only on one side. The procedure could be done under local anesthetic in the office.

It would be very difficult to give you advice based on these photos. I do not see much of asymmetry that would be worth of surgery? However, only on the basis of in person evaluation and discussion about your goals one could make decision about treatment. Good luck.

Yes it's possible to do small eyelid lifts under local anesthesia in the office to create more symmetry, but you should know that perfect is never ever possible.Having said that, I also noticed that in all 3 pictures, your head is somewhat tilted.  You should have your eye doctor examine you to ensure you don't have other vision issues.Be sure to discuss your goals and concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon and consider the pros and the cons. Be certain your surgeon is properly certified. 

Thanks for writing,Before one looks at eyelids, the brows need to be evaluated. As the brow drops so does the upper lid. Your photos don't show your brows well, your head is canted and photos are only two dimensional. The best way to determine what is going on is an in person evaluation. Also remember our body is asymmetrical, no two breasts, buttocks, of cheeks are exactly the same. This also need to be taken into account. I hope this helps, good luck.Stephen M.

Facial asymmetry is the norm rather than the exception.  If based on generalized asymmetry, correction is possible but will likely heighten your concerns about other parts of your face. An examination would be necessary to evaluate any underlying causes, muscle weakness, etc.
