I noticed the other day that in photos my eye is smaller than the other. I never had this before, not to this extent anyway. It's quite noticeable. It's drastically effected my self esteem since I used to think I had nice eyes, and now they have become a source of insecurity. What could this be from? And are there any alternatives to surgery?
Answer: Slight degree of ptosis Thank you for your question. It does seem like you have a slight droop in the right eyelid compared to the left.It would be best to see a plastic surgeon/oculoplastic surgeon to assess this and determine the reason for this and the appropriate treatment.Have you notcied a change in lifestyle recently - drinking more coffee/ late nights etc - tiredness and stress can lead to sudden changes too that may not require a surgical solution. There may also be the option of non-surgical treatments such as botox/ laser treatment that can help.The best thing to do is to see the surgoen and get assessed properlyI hope this is of helpBW

Answer: Eye Asymmetry-Possible Medical Cause This could be from a number of different reasons. The most common which are a sinus cavity that is smaller on one side followed by possible thyroid hormone levels which can be treated medically in most cases. I recommend seeing your primary doctor to allow them to work this up prior to pursuing aesthetic options. Best of LuckDrC
