I have struggled with this issue where my eye lid and eye brow are different on eacb of my eyes. It's been an issue for years and only getting worse I think... have you seen this before? What could I do to fix this? It's starting to be so obvious and I'm also worried if it's a bigger issue? Thank you so much... I do have a note out to a doctor too.

Answer: This is upper eyelid ptosis with compensatory eyebrow elevation. It is relatively common that one eyelid is much more affected than the other. This requires a detailed in person consultation. Please be aware that oculoplastic surgeons love the posterior approach ptosis surgery called the Mueller's muscle conjunctival resection ptosis surgery. That surgery will not be right for you in my opinion. You need your upper eyelid crease rebuilt at a lower location, repair of the disinserted tendon and reconstruct the upper eyelid fold. Your eyes can be your best feature.

Answer: Many options. This is common It is a frequent situation to have different eyebrow shapes or positions, and to have different eye socket shapes. I address this regularly, but, it's hard based on this picture to give you a detailed recommendation. Suffice to say that we can use injections (e.g. botox or filler) and surgery (e.g. browlift, blepharoplasty, and orbital contouring) to decrease the asymmetry.
