Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Is it still possible to get symmetrical eyes?
Revision surgery is necessary in your case.
Oct 29, 2023
What I can see in your case, it’s unfortunately a botched ptosis correction surgery. One of the main principles of ptosis correction is that it should be performed on both eyes. According to Herring’s Law, we cannot treat only one side because they affect each other. If the surgery is performed on both eyes, the chances of the satisfying symmetrical result increases.
In your case the revision surgery done by experienced, board-certified surgeon specialized with eyes aesthetic procedures is…
Would a blepharoplasty or ptosis surgery be the right choice for me? Hoping to correct asymmetry
Bigger eyelid shows signs of ptosis – ptosis correction recommened.
Oct 29, 2023
It’s noticeable that your larger double eyelid exhibits some signs of ptosis, where the upper eyelid droops slightly. While addressing this issue by reducing the double eyelid’s size may seem like a straightforward solution, it’s essential to consider potential side effects, such as puffiness.
To make an informed decision, it’s highly recommended to schedule a one-on-one consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon. They will consider factors such as your facial symmetry, skin elasticity,…
Eye Surgery advice – what procedures do I need to get this result?
Repositioning of lower eyelid and possibly ptosis correction surgery would be needed
Sep 11, 2023
I recommend addressing the lower lid placement as a priority. Additionally, consider the possibility of ptosis correction surgery for the levator muscle, but this decision should be made after a thorough consultation and evaluation with a plastic surgeon to assess its necessity.
Under eye hollows – which treatment would be the best to address this?
Lower Blepharoplasty with Mid-face lift would help
Sep 11, 2023
To address your concerns effectively, the recommended procedure is a lower blepharoplasty with SOOF (Suborbicularis oculi fat) and a mid-face lift. This combination of treatments is a comprehensive solution for eliminating the visible border between the under-eye area and the cheeks.
Lower Blepharoplasty with SOOF:This surgery is designed to rejuvenate the lower eyelid area. By repositioning the suborbicularis oculi fat pad, it fills in hollow areas under the eyes, creating a more youthful…
Would a lower eyelid lift be a good solution for sagging skin? 26 y/o
For now a standard Lower Blepharoplasty will be beneficial. When you get older LB SOOF should be considered.
Aug 25, 2023
It’s a valid consideration to dissolve the injected filler and potentially pursue a Lower Blepharoplasty SOOF. However, given your young age, a more conservative approach like a standard Lower Blepharoplasty would be advisable. This approach involves addressing excess skin and fat, providing effective rejuvenation without the complexity of the SOOF technique. It takes into account both your desired outcomes and age-related factors, offering a balanced solution for a refreshed appearance.
What can be causing the bags between my eyes and cheeks and how can they be corrected?
I would suggest Lower Blepharoplasty (SOOF) with Mid-face Lifting
Aug 25, 2023
I would suggest a lower blepharoplasty surgery along with a mid-face lift. The lower blepharoplasty focuses on rejuvenating the area around your lower eyelids by addressing issues like excess skin, puffiness, and wrinkles. By removing or repositioning tissue, this surgery can make your eyes look more refreshed and youthful.
Additionally, a mid-face lift targets the middle part of your face, which includes the cheeks and the area below your eyes. This procedure can help lift and tighten…

I would advise ptosis correction surgery with medial fold correction.
Aug 25, 2023
If you’re thinking about fixing droopy eyelids (ptosis) and there’s a problem with the medial part of your eyelid drooping more, it’s a good idea to consider both levator surgery and reducing the fold on the inside. This can help make your eyes look more even. Sometimes, when the medial part droops, it can make the outer part look bigger. By doing both surgeries together, you can make your eyes look more balanced and natural. So, if the inside drooping is making your eyes look uneven, fixing…
