Hello- My eyes are a huge concern. Would eye lid surgery fix the asymmetry? Overall- my profile looks sad because of my eyes. What surgical or non surgical options should I explore?

Answer: What surgical or non surgical options should I explore? Hello @Glorious9059, thank you for your question. There is a need to make an assessment if we wish to improve the proportion of the eyelid through non-surgical treatments such as the use of Botox and other technologies. In my opinion a blefaroplasty is not the right treatment because you are too young and still have the elasticity of the skin. For more information and recommendations, it is best to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: Eyelid Asymmetry Thank you for sharing your question and photos. If you choose to get this eye issue fixed, eyelid surgery is one of the first cosmetic surgeries people usually get. While the average age might be 30 to 50's, some patients get this done in their 20s. It really depends on your genetic makeup and anatomy in addition to what exactly is bothering you.
Surgery is one option to consider. In today's day and age, there are also many nonsurgical options to consider. Botox injections as well as laser treatments can also be a tremendous benefit if you are not interested in surgery. Of course, there are also many combinations. I would recommend that you see a board-certified plastic surgeon who is a member of both ASPS & ASAPS and has plenty of experience in eyelid surgery. Go over your concerns with them and make sure above all, you walk out of there with several options and an idea of the pros and cons to each of them as well as realistic expectations. I hope this helps answer your question. If it does, please take a moment to up vote this answer on the “respond” button on the top right.
