My left eye is quite a bit higher than my right. I believe that this is genetic, because my mother has the same thing. I've been told that it's not noticeable, but I've always thought that it's pretty extreme and noticeable. I've never heard anything about raising an eyeball, but Is there the possibility of reshaping the eyelids to give the impression of symmetry? Thank you.
It appears that you have a small amount of vertical dystopia. This can be corrected with surgery. I would start with getting a CT scan of the facial bones first. Happy to discuss further in a video consult.
Hi Nate,
You ask a great question. Usually, everyone has some degree of asymmetry, and many people are bothered by the same thing you are bothered by. Our asymmetries are all over the body and face, and relate to slight differences in bone, muscle, and soft tissue. Fortunately, with botulinum toxin, it is frequently possible to treat asymmetry around the eyes.
Your next step would be to find a board-certified plastic surgeon near you to whom you could send photos of your eyes. You would then be able to see how they could help you address your problem - there is a very good chance they would be able to do so in this way. We are based in New York City, but our office would be able to schedule you in for a virtual consultation if you are interested.
I wish you luck on your journey!
