What to do about right eyelid? (Photo)

Question

I feel like it's pretty dramatic. Is there something I can do to make both eyelids symmetrical?

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

Your eyebrows are asymmetrical and you have a high hairline.  I recommend a coronal browlift first to straighten out your eyebrows then you can consider an upper blepharoplasty.

Best Wishes,

Roni Prucz, MD · Answer

The upper eyelid position is influenced by the position of the eyebrow, excess skin of the upper eyelid, and the function of the eyelid muscles. Patients who have ptosis (dysfunction of the muscles) need the muscle repaired in addition to addressing the other factors.  Thank you for your question!

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

John Michael Thomassen, MD · Answer

You have some levator dehiscence on the side with the higher crease.  This can be fixed with an upper lid blepharoplasty on both sides.

Zoran Potparic, MD · Answer

It appears that you have condition called eyelid ptosis, droopy eyelids. Correction of this deformity is surgical, done in local anesthesia. In person consultation with a board certified plastic or oculoplastic surgeon, is recommended. Good luck.
