Question

Hello, my right eye is lower than my left eye. I am thinkink about gettlng an eyelid surgery to fix that. What do you recommend should I do only one eye or both? Also what can be done for under eye puffiness? Thank you for your response. I am 24 years old.

Your major underlying condition is small cheek bones, malar hypoplasia which is the reason for an early onset of lower eyelid issues. Correction of cheek deficiency with cheek implant or fat grafting and lower blepharoplasty would correct this issue. It is very likely that you have mild upper eyelid drooping, condition known as ptosis. This can be confirmed only on the basis of in person evaluation. All three of these problems can be addressed in the same surgery. Good luck.

One side gets more brow effort. But both need surgery at the same time. Most Oculoplastic surgeons you consult will offer you a posterior approach Müllerectomy. That surgery will not provide an adequate repair in my opinion. You have a very strong compensatory eyebrow elevation. In order to get the brows to relax sufficiently, the anterior levator disinsertion needs to be repaired. You also need an anchor blepharoplasty to the upper eyelashes. I would encourage you to also have a transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty to deal with the lower eyelid fat. There is no substitute to a detailed in person assessment.

Thank you for your question.
Based on your description and photos, you appear to be a visible candidate for a lower blepharoplasty. However, a clearer photo of your entire face would be needed to fully assess eyelid asymmetry and determine the best approach for a balanced result.
I hope this helps.
