Hi there, Im interested in a procedure to make my eyelids more symmetrical. What type of surgeon does this best?
Answer: Best Surgeon I would never say that one type of surgeon is the "best" at any one surgery. There are excellent surgeons in plastic surgery, facial plastic surgery, and oculoplastic surgery who regularly perform blepharoplasties. I'd recommend you meet with a couple surgeons and discuss your concerns. Ask if they have done this before. Ask their comfort level. See pictures. Most of all, go with your gut. You are beginning a relationship with this person, There are unexpected things that can occur in even the "best" hands, and your relationship with your surgeon will mean everything to you at that point. All the other things such as reviews, pictures, prices, and promises go out the window at that point. You need comfort, compassion, a listening ear, and guidance. If you don't feel that, go elsewhere.

Answer: Need to come in to consult 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.

Answer: What type of surgeon is best to address upper eyelid asymmetry? Hello @rnw2404, thank you for your question and showing your picture. Before deciding on a particular type of surgery for your upper eyelid asymmetry, it is important to discuss your condition with several doctors so you can get a full understanding of all possible treatment options. In some cases, simple treatments like Botox injections may be recommended instead of surgery. It is also essential that you meet with someone experienced facial plastic surgery who has experience dealing with similar cases before proceeding with any treatment plan. Keep in mind that no two patients are exactly alike; therefore it's especially important to discuss all available treatments thoroughly before making any decisions about which one may be best suited for treating your individual case. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
