Solutions to Asymmetrical Eyes

｜Incisional double eyelid surgery
｜Ptosis correction surgery

Asymmetrical eyes are often caused by uneven eyelids and the abnormality of the levator muscle.

Under normal circumstances, upper eyelid covers 1/5 of the pupil. Increased pupil coverage may be increased due to the thinning and detachment of levator muscle tendon. Patients with asymmetrical eyes may also experience conditions including eyelid adipose accumulation, hollow eye socket, asymmetrical brows, and forehead wrinkles besides being bothered by the aesthetic appearance of a tired-looking eye and the strain to keep their eyes looking awake.

Asymmetrical eye correction surgeries can be used to adjust size of eyes and to restore beauty. It is crucial to discuss your concerns in prior to the procedure because a thorough assessment of the eyebrow position, eye to eyebrow and eye to eye distance, and the needs for under eye bags removal and ptosis correction are the pre-requisites for an ideal surgical plan.
