13 months post blepharoplasty and ptosis correction - what can I do to correct asymmetry? Which car should I correct? (photo)

Question

Had upper blephoroplasty and ptosis on both eyes 13 months ago, My eyes are asymetrical. Which eye should be repaired?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

The left upper eyelid is not ptotic. If this eyelid was raised both eyelids are at risk of being over corrected. I would also consider resetting the lateral canthal angles ( to help the effect of eye shape rounding ). Finally, I think the upper blepharoplasty over aggressively raised the creases and hollowed the upper eyelids. This can be corrected with crease lowering and fold reconstruction. There is no substitute for a detailed personal assessment. Your eyes can be your best feature.
