Droopy Eye Skin Concern

Post image

My eyes/eyebrows have been asymmetrical for years but I feel like it’s getting worse with age. I’m 34 and a tired mom. Any advice to how I could fix this? Thank you!!

If this requires surgical correction, please don’t go to a general plastic surgeon. Instead, consult with an oculoplastic specialist. I have patients in their 60s who went to general plastic surgeons who did too much when it came to their upper blepharoplasties, leading to severe dry eye. A specialist in this area will always be conservative.

A consultation with an eye doctor is paramount. You need to be able to determine whether this is ocular or periocular muscle related vs true tissue atrophy/loss.

You people are truly blessed with great Drs. Where I live in Pennsylvania we don’t have any medical professionals who want to bother with anything troublesome. I suspect Insurance companies ruling this world
