One appears smaller than the other and some days later looks a lot worse I don’t want surgery and it’s really getting me down
Answer: Ptosis Hi,Thank you for including a photograph. It appears that you have left eyelid ptosis - which means that the left lid rests lower (abnormally) than the right side. Botox is not the answer here because you want to elevate he left lid, not lower the right lid. The only true corrective measure is surgical ptosis repair which can be done under local anesthesia (you do not need to completely asleep). I do recommend a consultation with a oculoplastic surgeon - they specialize in this type of surgery and you are likely to get the best result in their hands.Best of luck,Mehdi Sina, MD

Answer: Botox to even out the eyes You have a condition called eyelid ptosis. Botox may help if injected properly into the glabella but it may be quite difficult to do to get your eyelids exactly symmetrical. I would recommend you see a plastic surgeon that also performs Botox so you can hear the pros and cons of each procedure. Many of us are asymmetrical if that is any consolation. Good luck.

Answer: Botox to even eyes Although Botox can often be used to create small elevations of one or both of the brows , it will not work with you. You have ptosis of your left upper lid . This requires surgery to correct. I suggest you consult with an Oculoplastic surgeon.

Answer: Droopy eyelid In the picture, it appears the left brow and eyelid are droopier than the right. The correction for these asymmetries is surgery. The brow and eyelid may be elevated by endoscopic brow lift and eyelid muscle tightening, respectively. These procedures may be performed at the same time. Neuromodulator, such Botox and Dysport, will not address the asymmetries.
