You are absolutely beautiful. Please do not tell yourself or let anyone else tell you otherwise.You have a slight asymmetry in the facial skeleton that is entirely normal (we all have facial asymmetry). You also have a slight left upper eyelid ptosis. This means the left upper eyelid is heavier than the right eye. I also wonder if you might have latent ptosis of the right upper eyelid. A careful oculoplastic assessment would determine if a micro-anchor blepharoplasty of the upper eyelid would benefit you.
The minor asymmetry between your eyes is normal. I would not encourage any surgery. Good luck and be safe.John T. Nguyen, MD, FACS, FICSDouble Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
It appears that your palpebral fissure -- the amount to eye that you see between your eyelids -- is shorter on the left than on the right, and may be more noticeable when you smile. You have a mild ptosis of the left upper eyelid, which means it hangs down a bit more than the the right. Keep in mind that 85% of faces display some degree of asymmetry. That's an overwhelming majority. Look at my right eye on my profile page picture -- it's noticeably higher on my face and closed more than the left. You really only notice it if you're actively looking for it. It is likely that most people you know and meet don't notice your asymmetry.When a ptosis is secondary to a medical condition or prior therapy, a prescription eye drop can help even the eyes.Additionally, ptosis is correctable with surgery but a mild ptosis is difficult to correct to perfect symmetry and there are risks inherent to any surgery. If you want to proceed down that route, seek out a consultation with a Board-Certified Facial Plastic or Oculoplastic Surgeon who has experience with ptosis repair.Best wishes! Harry V.

No, your face is not deformed! Everyone has some degree of facial asymmetry and you are well within the norm. I would suggest you not do anything, as you are most likely, the only person who notices this minor difference.
Thanks for the question and photos. this is a very common question, especially from young people. If you get any of the magazines by the grocery cashier and look at the beautiful and famous people's photos, 99% of them have one big and one small eye. that's a normal human degree of asymmetry or unevenness. If everyone was as attractive as you, we would all have a lot fewer patients.
Your photographs suggest that there is a small amount of excess skin in the upper eyelids.It is best to wait at least 6 months to allow the tissues to fully heal. You can then more accurately determine the amount of excess skin that remains. You have very hollow eyes and there will...
Festoons are difficult to treat. Direct excision should be a last resort once simpler methods such as RF or lasers fail in my opinion.
If this picture was taken in the standard straight-ahead gaze position, it shows excessive "white" (sclera) underneath the pigmented portion of your eye. I prefer to see the lower lid covering that area.A canthopexy procedure may help you with this. Best to see someone who has...
