It appears you have left upper eyelid ptosis (droopy upper eyelid). See an oculoplastic specialist for evaluation and possible eyelid ptosis surgery.
The size of your eyes can be different for 4 reasons. 1- Facial asymmetry where 1 eye socket is simply smaller than the other 2- ptosis where 1 eyelid is lower due to a stretched eye muscle. 3- 1 eyebrow is lower than the other making the eye itself appear smaller. 4-a different eye crease attachment.
Hello and thank you for your question. Thebest advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. You may have ptosis of the lower eyelid. This can be corrected with a ptosis repair in the right patient. Make sure you specifically lookat before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgeryperformed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The mostimportant aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommendthat you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon whocan evaluate you in person.Best wishes and good luck.Richard G. Reish, M.D.Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
While some asymmetry of the face and eyes is normal if you have ptosis of one eyelid surgery can be effective in improving this. Ptosis repair involves tightening of the levator muscle to eliminate eyelid drooping. If excess upper eyelid skin is hooding the eye and needs to be eliminated, an incision is made in the crease at the top of the lid and excess fat and skin are removed. The incisions are closed and sutured on the underside of the skin. I suggest making an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in ptosis repair.
Yes, your right eye is more open than your left eye. The reason is that the left upper eyelid is droopy, in other words, there is ptosis of the left eye. This can be treated with a ptosis procedure to raise the eyelid and to improve the symmetry between the eyes. Best wishes.
It looks like you may have ptosis on the side that has a high fold. This can be repaired in several different ways and depends upon your levator function.
Your left eye seems smaller because your left upper eyelid has ptosis (drooping). This is caused by a weakness in the muscle attachment in your eyelid. Ptosis is repaired with surgery. The surgery is performed as an outpatient under twilight anesthesia. The key is to see a surgeon who specializes in eyelid surgery and who has a lot of experience.
I WOULD TRY FILLERS BEFORE GOING IN AND DOING SURGERY , THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FAT TRANSFER AND FILLERS ARE FILLER ARE LESS INVASIVE AND CAN LAST 6-9 MONTHS SOMETIMES UP TO A YEAR DEPENDING ON WHICH ONES. FAT TRANSFERS ARE USUALLY SURGICALLY DONE WITH LIPO AND TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER AREA OF THE...
Recommend seeing before/after photos of your surgeon. Ligament release should not cause eye shape change but transcutaneous blepharoplasty and possibly canthopexy can. Ideal method to address under eye bags and hollowness is transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty with fat bags repositioning so...
Plastic surgery scars require attention after surgery so that they remain cosmetically-appealing and barely noticeable. In our office, we use a protocol for scars that minimizes their activity in the 6-8 weeks after surgery. If you have late plastic surgery scars, you may also require laser and...
Thank you for your question. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon. It is important to evaluate a surgeon based on their years of experience, number of surgeries performed per year, patient testimonials, patient before and after photos,...
Do not take fat out! Yes you will get hollow sunken under eyes if you remove the fat bags. It is best to reposition/redistribue the fat bags. See following link and video. It is called transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty with fat repositioning.
In this day and age with so many simple nonsurgical aesthetic procedures replacing invasive surgical procedures (for example, there are now nearly 2.5 million hyaluronic acid injections performed annually in the U.S. alone), I am surprised that you are jumping to considering relatively ...
