Eye asymmetry, 1 eye larger & different shapes - is this treatable? (Photos)

Question

I think I have some sort of eye asymmetry. It’s like one eye looks larger than the other, and they seem to have completely different shapes. It's very noticeable in portrait photos. Exactly what is going on here with me? Please help! Is this treatable/correctable? What would be the procedure like? I’ve been really conscious about this lately.

You have a double fold and that feature needs to be respected when addressing the upper eyelid ptosis. That is done surgically. Precisely what you need can only be determined during an in person consultation. You should be skeptical of surgeons who perform their consultation via zoom. It may be that you can have surgery just on the more ptotic side or you may actually need both eyelids addressed at the same time. That information can generally be evaluated at the time of the consultation.
