Question

What's wrong with my eyes? Is one eye droopy or is the other eye hooded? What is the best treatment option?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

As we age, our eyelids naturally sag and droop. A combination approach would be best to see visible improvement. In terms of non-surgical treatment options, I would recommend a Chemical Brow Lift (using Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Jeuveau) and filler injections to rejuvenate the temples, eyebrow, eyelid, eye troughs, upper eye hollows, and forehead. I typically combine this with Ultherapy and thread lifting to lift the brow; RF and skin tightening laser treatments to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin; and laser or superficial RF devices for improvements in texture, color, and any crepey skin around the eyes as needed. In some cases, surgery is the best solution to achieve the desired results. See an expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer.​

Hello @mhy23g, thank you for your question. Unfortunately, the photo doesn't make it easy to see clearly. An evaluation of the possibility of performing a surgical or non-surgical rejuvenation of the expression of the eyes must be performed based on the need, age, and expectations of the patient. For more information and recommendations, it is best to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

You may benefit from asymmetric upper blepharoplasty and possibly left ptosis surgery. Need more detailed evaluation to determine. See an oculoplastics specialist.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

It's impossibleTo tell if you have a ptosis in the current photo. From the one very limited photograph, you appear to have asymmetric amounts of fat and extra skin in each eyelid. An upper blepharoplasty procedure can accomplish improvement for your Eyelid asymmetry for cosmetic purposes. An upper blepharoplasty can be performed under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure.
