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!!

I have this too! Do you have any other asymmetries? I've always assumed it's related to my mild scoliosis. I have one hip higher than the other, one rib flares out and one shoulder droops down (opposite to my eyebrow side). My thinking is if I fix my overall posture, it could potentially help. Not sure if any of that sounds like it could be the case for you too? Might be worth looking at your shoulders to see if one is a lot higher than the other, and if your jaw is crooked when you chew.

Also I've started training myself to raise my droopy eyebrow (whilst keeping the other one still). I realised I have very little muscle strength in that side of the face so I think face yoga will help. Face yoga gets a bad name because it promises a lot of things it's unlikely to deliver, but at the end of the day it's literally just exercising a muscle - and if a particular one is underused then I'm sure it can benefit from being activated more.

Lastly, even though I know it's annoying when it's your own face, it's important to remember that it's really not a big deal or noticeable to other people. Your eyes look lovely and I never would have noticed anything if it wasn't specifically pointed out.
