I have noticed recently that my eyes are not quite level and this shows a lot in photos. I have lost quite a bit of fat in my body and unfortunately it shows on my face as well. Which is why I've started to notice this problem. I am aware of the uneven fat storage under my eyes, which has always been the case. There's more"deepness" under my left eye than the right eye. Maybe that is the reason one eye looks lower than the other, specially at the tear duct region?
Answer: Why are my eyes not level? Dear ZIIISH, Thank you for your clinical post. Symmetry between corresponding body parts is never perfect. No two ears, no two breasts, no two hands and no two feet are exactly the same. You have the expected degree of subtle asymmetry between the eyes and the orbital anatomy. Your left eye has a little bit more enophthalmos or smaller eye syndrome with a larger socket. Your supratarsal fold is larger on that side and you have some loss of volume under the eyes. Simple use of soft tissue fillers in the infraorbital area that is under the eye as well as a small amount of filler in the left supratarsal region can provide more symmetry. As you are very detail oriented it’s very important you discuss with your injection physician the relative risk and recovery of this approach as you’ll always have some asymmetry. The goal is to create as much symmetry as possible without ensuing too much risk. I hope this information is of some assistance and best of luck. To find out more, please visit the link below. R.

Answer: Why are my eyes not level? Hello,You are likely correct in your assessment that fat loss on your face and the period it's region has led to some asymmetry in the way your eyes look. Most of us are not symmetrical to start with and changes such aging and fat loss or fat gain can sometimes accentuate this. You could consider HA fillers in the year trough area and over the orbital rim to easily improve the area. Fat grafting is another option you could consider.
