Q. What do I need to fix this eye asymmetry? Would a Botox brow lift help me? Or a brow lift surgery? Blepharoplasty? I had an upper blepharoplasty in 2012. After it was done my eyes have been a little asymmetrical but it didn’t bother me too much. I understand nothing is perfect and I fix it with how i put my makeup on. I feel that one eye is more round and the other is more almond shaped. Anyway, now I see some droopyness not only in my right eyelid but in my eyebrow too. My right brow is so much lower than my left. What should I do with my situation with my droopy right eye/eye brow?
A. Thank you for sharing your photos. While very limited, I do identify some issues for which a in-person consultation with a talented, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon should evaluate and make recommendations.
- From beginning to the end of your photo sequence, I notice:
- Brow ptosis or drooping on the right more than the left.
- Facial asymmetry of the upper orbital rim lower on the right than on the left.
- Hollowing and nasojugal fold development of the lower eyelid – cheek junction.
- The lateral canthal ligament on the right is positioned lower on the orbital rim than the left.
These are all issues to be assessed by a experienced facial surgeon to offer the non- to minimally- to invasive surgical options for correction.
You may consider:
- Botox to assist in asymmetric brow elevation but dependent on muscle and skin mobility and muscle position on the forehead.
- Silhouette InstaLift or EuroThreads for repositioning the brow with longer term skin tightening and lifting
- Asymmetric brow lift.
- Craniofacial or Oculoplastic surgery specialist
This can get complicated. Please search for and choose your consultants carefully.
I wish you the best.
