Fix Half Asian, Half caucasian Asymmetric Eye Lids

December 22, 2010
Asked By:svsb in Santa Barbara

Is It a Simple Procedure to Fix my Asymmetrical Eye Lids? I am half asian, half caucasian, and my right eye folds like an asian eye, while my left eye more like a caucasian eye. My left eye is more noticeably droopy when I am tired (Ptosis?). I'd like to fix my left eye to match my right, is this a complicated surgery? Is it even possible to fix? (or at least make somewhat more similar?)
