Do I need an eyelid surgery or is there something else to even out my eyes? (Photo)

Question

One eye looked bigger than the other and almost further out on my head it may also look a little higher

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

Even though your left brow is lower and consequently you have more hooding of your upper eyelid on that same side, I would recommend a blepharoplasty to address this asymmetry rather than a brow lift.

Make sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon with a good eye for the best outcome.

Best of luck !

100% of people have facial asymmetry. No one has a symmetrical face. During embryological development, the two sides of the face develop independently from each other, and eventually fuse in the midline.
Most of the asymmetry is based on skeletal structure. To correct. The facial asymmetry would require major cranial facial reconstruction surgery. That is not indicated for someone who appears normal.
Your degree of a symmetry is very much within normal, and even after proper supplementary analysis, I’m guessing that you would still fall within one and a half standard deviations.
The human brain is accustomed to seeing all peoples faces with facial asymmetry. For this reason, when we see a computer generated symmetrical faces, they have an unfamiliar or odd and unappealing appearance. Even a great artist throughout history recognized the face is asymmetrical and facial asymmetry, as well as body asymmetry has generally been incorporated in all great works of art throughout history.
You are normal and don’t need surgery
