This asymmetry has gotten worse and unfortunately it makes my eye feel "heavy" and get tired more easily. I first noticed it about a year ago and I hate it, it makes me incredibly self concious. I consulted with a dermatologist who recommended filler to disguise it but I'm wondering if eyelid surgery is what I really need. Thank you.

Answer: Facial Sculpting Candidate -- Fillers, Threads, Fat Transfer, Implants, See an expert It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Filler could hide the bump, which is herniated lower eyelid fat. Classically, this is why people get lower eyelid surgeon. There are two basic approached to the lower eyelid surgically: from the front called transcutaneous and from the back called tranconjunctival. The transcutaneous approach is associated with significant complications including visible scaring, lower eyelid retraction, permanent weakening of the lower eyelid margin, and the need for lateral canthal surgery. This approach is most commonly practiced by board certified general plastic surgeons. Being good a boob surgery does not make you good at eyelid surgery. The transconjuntival approach is performed behind the eyelid and requires comfort and skill to work near the eye. The advantage of the method is that the incision is hidden, it does not cause lower eyelid retraction or lid margin weakness. It is most commonly offered by oculofacial surgeons and some facial plastic surgeons. A popular variation of this surgery is to use the bulging fat to slide under the tear trough hollow. This is called arcus marginalis release surgery. While it is possible to perform this surgery under local anesthesia, that is rough. It is much better to have surgery under intravenous sedation. You will be very comfortable this way.
