Question

My right and left upper eyelid are not symmetrical? What are the option I have ? I have never done any kind of cosmetic and reconstructive surgery.

David K. Isaacs, MD, FACS · Answer

It’s difficult to determine what is going on from your photo. It appears that your left upper eyelid may be droopy, and that your left brow is lifted, compensating for the droop. But again very difficult to say from your photo.

I see many patients with very obvious eyelid asymmetry, but it’s not a very common occurrence.

The first things I do is evaluate for any medical concerns causing the asymmetry.

Once that is ruled out, the treatment really depends on the problem.

See an Oculofacial plastic surgeon for a proper exam and recommendations.
