How to fix asymmetrical eyes?

Question

I can not find any causes of one eyebrow and eye being higher than the other. Is it possible to fix this with surgery, or could it be a muscle?

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.

Hi Fabulous. Congratulations- you've discovered a trick of plastic surgery, you are completely normal because everyone has facial asymmetry. This is due to the underlying bone of your face that cannot be changed. You might notice how that whole side of your face is a little bit smaller/lower, including the position of your eye, the nose attaching higher, and the jawbone angle too. This is not something that I'm sure anyone but yourself notices because it is normal to have this degree of asymmetry. However, if you are extraordinarily bothered by this, you could try doing some gentle neurotox to try to even out the brows. I would against surgery because this is so minor that it would be too difficult to control the outcome.

All people have significant degrees of facial asymmetry during embryological development, the two sides of the face form independently from each other, and eventually fused in the midline. It’s common for people to have asymmetry of their borrow position , and this is often directly related with asymmetry of the eyesocket.
Generally speaking, the left eye socket sits higher in the face than the right side, and typically the left brow also sits higher.
This seems to be the case with you as well, and this is the most common seen in the human population
Your degree of asymmetry is very much within a normal range, and if you look carefully at other faces, you’ll recognize that your degree of asymmetry is not abnormal. No one has a symmetrical face.
Your asymmetry should not be treated because any attempt at doing that will simply create a new asymmetry.
Best,
