So recently one of my eyelid has changed on the left side. I'm not sure why, I have never had this issue with my eyelid. What should I do to correct this.
Answer: Blepharoplasty Thank you for your question. Keep in mind that no human being has a perfectly symmetrical face. That said, you would benefit from a consultation with a board certified facial plastic surgeon. It is an opportunity to explore ways to address the recently changed eyelid as well as discuss any and all cosmetic concerns and desires. Always consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.

Answer: If right eye is the normal side... If your right eye is the normal side, then the left upper eyelid seems "retracted". That is, it seems more open than the left side. Often, Thyroid Eye Disease may be the underlying problem. You need to be evaluated by an experienced Oculoplastics surgeon to get this properly evaluated. In the San Francisco area, Drs Eve Moscato and Stuart Seiff are excellent choices. The are other very well qualified Oculoplastics surgeons in SF as well. ASOPRS.org would be another good resource for your as this is the website for American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.Good luck.

Answer: It is silly to say it is easily fixable. It is unclear from this photograph what is going on. Generally this type of difference is due to levator dehiscence in one of the eyelids. In this case it is likely the right upper eyelid. Although you are not looking straight ahead in the photo, it appears there is a compensatory brow elevation on the right side. What you need is a detailed consultation. You need to be very clear what you want and do not want if surgery is proposed. Generally you are likely to want symmetry improved without any evidence that you have had eyelid surgery. Look for a highly experience eyelid surgeons who understands Asian eyelids.
