I’m 18, hate having my photo taken because of obvious eye asymmetry, what procedure or combination of procedures may fix this issue? willing to travel and pay for quality healthcare.
Answer: What you should know about dermal fillers Thank you for your question and photos. Dermal fillers are a favorable option for improving facial balance and symmetry. These hyaluronic acid formulas can be strategically injected to add volume where necessary to create a more harmonious appearance. While dermal filler treatments are not surgery, they still require a great deal of skill and precision to achieve the best possible results. In my office, we use a microcannula to inject this area, which minimizes bruising and swelling and ensures the smoothest outcome. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial injector who can discuss your concern with you and determine the best treatment option.

Answer: Non-Surgical Chemical Brow Lift for Eyelid Rejuvenation -- add Ultherapy, Thread Lifting, RF Skin Tightening, Laser Treatments As we age, our eyelids naturally sag and droop. A combination approach would be best to see visible improvement. In terms of non-surgical treatment options, I would recommend a Chemical Brow Lift (using Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Jeuveau) and filler injections to rejuvenate the temples, eyebrow, eyelid, eye troughs, upper eye hollows, and forehead. I typically combine this with Ultherapy and thread lifting to lift the brow; RF and skin tightening laser treatments to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin; and laser or superficial RF devices for improvements in texture, color, and any crepey skin around the eyes as needed. In some cases, surgery is the best solution to achieve the desired results. See an expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Age 18, what procedure(s) would I need to fix this eye asymmetry? Dear covrtw113 Thanks for your question and sharing your photos. Addressing the eyelid asymmetry can be very challenging. There are lots of situations that can contribute to this. They range from droopy eyelids, to congenital conditions including the asymmetry in bony structure of the eye socket. The first step would be to have a consultation with either an occuloplastic surgeon ( eye doctor with expertise in plastic surgery of eyelids) or a plastic surgeon with experience in eyelid surgery. They can assess you and explain the issue and formulate a surgical plan. Sometimes they might to combine surgery with non surgical treatments such as fillers. I hope you find this explanation helpful.

Answer: EYELID CONCERN This is a common question. Every single person is asymmetric throughout their body and this includes the eyes. Asymmetries and eyelid wrinkles can be corrected with blepharoplasty cosmetic eyelid surgery. It 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 unique anatomy as well as what exactly is bothering you. That said, even after surgery I always warn patients that there will still be asymmetry and things will not look 100% perfectly even because some asymmetries cannot be corrected unless you reposition bone, remove muscle etc. and somethings are just not worth doing.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 in your area that is a member of both ASPS & ASAPS and performs a lot of eyelid surgery but also offers all the nonsurgical options such as injectables and laser treatments. 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 my answer helps and if it does, please take a moment to upvote this answer on the “response”button on the top right. Have a great day.

Answer: Lid asymmetry Eyelid asymmetry can be caused by numerous factors. Often one lid is lower than the other with a compensatory brow elevation on the same side. You need an in person consultation to discuss treatment options.
