Overcorrected eyelid or overdone blepharoplasty on my left eye? Should I get another doctor to correct it. (photo)

The most likely reason for the asymmetry you are seeing is called Herrings Law.  Basically, when the ptosis on the right was corrected compensatory overactivity on the left decreased causing the left lid to droop.  This can be corrected with revision of the eyelid surgery on the left to correct the unmasked ptosis.

From your photos you clearly have a drooping of your left upper eyelid. Without doing an exam to check the levator muscle function, I am unable to give you an opinion on correction. I believe that you have a levator problem that will need to be corrected.

From the picture, there is residual ptosis of the left upper eyelid. This can be corrected by shortening the muscle that is responsible for raising the eyelid (levator aponeurosis)  The scar can be revised at the same time.  Should wait for at least 6 months after the initial surgery
 

Hello and thank you for your excellent question. Based on your photos it appears that initially the right side had more ptosis, this causes the muscles on both sides to contract and lift the lids. After the right lid was fixed the muscles stopped contracting and this caused the left lid to become more ptotic (Herring's Law). You would likely require more correction of the left side. I recommend you seek consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who can help guide you in your decision making.

Hi there,
There are two issues with the asymmetry.  One issue is that the left brow is elevated, versus the right side.  This may be your brain's effort to compensate for the second issue:  left upper eyelid droop (ptosis).  The net effect of these two problems is that each of them makes MORE of your left upper lid visible.  This increases the asymmetric appearance.  Revision ptosis surgery on the left upper lid is the first step:  this will raise your lid, and decrease the "tarsal platform", or amount of eyelid that is visible.  This will improve symmetry.  HOPEFULLY, the left brow will relax down a little bit -- this may provide you with near perfect symmetry if that happens.  If not, that might need to be addressed sometime later with a minor procedure.
Revision surgery would have perhaps an 80-90% chance of correction with a single procedure.  It would be done awake, and would take about 20 minutes.  
Hope that helps

I agree you have some asymmetry after your surgery.  You may want to first discuss your concerns with your surgeon to see if he or she has any suggestions on how to address the issues.  However, if you feel more comfortable with a different surgeon, be sure they are experienced with eyelid and ptosis surgery.  Best of luck.

You have eyelid ptosis on the affected eye that needs correction.  You could undergo a revision by the same doctor or seek out another plastic surgeon with experience with ptosis.  

Ptosis repair surgery is probably the most difficult surgery that gets performed on the eyelids and asymmetry is fairly common. There are different ways ptosis repair surgery can be performed (levator advancement vs mullerectomy). If one method didnt work well, I usually say the next step is to try the other method. If your surgeon doesnt perform both types of ptosis surgery, you may want to get another opinion.

Thank you for the question. As others have stated, setting the lid margin height in a patient with ptosis is unfortunately not just as simple as measuring. The brain has a set point for where the eyelids are positioned. Surgical changes to one lid will affect the position of the other via this nervous system connection. Please visit with your surgeon and an ophthalmologist for next steps. 

It is unfortunate that you had sub-optimal results.  At this point in your healing it is unlikely that things will improve. Most likely you will need a revision surgery to address the residual ptosis and possibly to adjust your supra-tarsal crease.  Seek out an experienced and talented plastic surgeon for an in person evaluation.  

While it is difficult to make an accurate assessment from images alone, it does appear you might have Herring’s reaction. This occurs when one lid is corrected and the other lid overcompensates for the correction and begins to droop. This is a relatively easy fix by an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon. I would schedule a follow-up with the surgeon that performed your original surgery for an in-person evaluation and treatment recommendations.
