Is there a way to fix uneven eyelid hood without surgery? (photo)

Question

I'd like to make my eyelids even. Ideally I would want to make my right eye hood lower to match my left eye. Is there a way to achieve this non-surgically with injections?

Sometimes botox can be used to lift  the eyebrow and/or eyelid in a subtle way to help improve asymmetry, however, looking at your photo, I find it unlikely that this will be the case for you. You seem to have a significant asymmetry between your right and left eyes. Your right eye and possibly your eye socket seem to be smaller than the left. This doesn't mean that your eyeball is actually smaller, but rather the bony and soft tissue structures around your right eye is smaller than your left. Its also possible that the left eye is being pushed out more than the right, thus making it seem larger. A full face photo might provide additional details, but you need an in person evaluation by an Oculofacial Plastic Surgeon (Oculoplastic surgeon). There is are excellent surgeons in Toronto. Your can search for them on link I've provided below.Good luck

Uneven eyelids can be addressed non-surgically via several techniques. Brow position can be altered using Botox injections. Raising or lowering an eyebrow with Botox can change the appearance of the eyelid by creating more or less fullness. Dermal fillers such as Restyane can also add more fullness in the brow and upper eyelid creating more symmetry. Non-surgical lifting devices such as Ulthera can also change the brow position and upper eyelid fullness. As always, you should consult with a Surgeon that is skilled and experienced in treating this delicate area.
