I have uneven eyes. One eyelid is heavier than the other. What can I do? (photo)

Question

I have visibly uneven eyes that make me look unattractive, and tired. I feel one eyelid heavier than the other. I’m 18. Do I need surgery?

You may have asymmetric upper eyelid ptosis or something else. Best to see an oculoplastic specialist for evaluation.

Hi,You have an eyelid droop on the right upper eyelid. This can be corrected surgically with ptosis repair (there are no non-surgical options). Best,

Giovanny Pérez, MD · Answer

Hello! Nice to answer your clinical case. The asymmetry is visible, although not all living beings are 100% symmetrical, we can improve it to achieve more harmony between the eyelids. In this case, blepharoplasty should be performed with repair of the eyelid lift muscle, which, in the case of your young age, could only be on the affected side. I hope it helped your doubt.
