Accepted Answer

Oculoplastic surgery: You need this evaluated by an oculoplastic surgeon ( ask your ophthalmologist to recommend one) who can determine whether there is a treatable reason for the disparity, and if not then what surgery can be done to even the lids up.

Question 4

my left eyelid hangs lower than the right. and my left pupil is sometimes smaller than the right one. what could be the cause?

Ptosis / anisicoria: If this is new or progressive you should see your doc to have this evaluated. Problems with the nerves to your eye and associated muscles can cause this.

Question 6

is this ptosis if one eye is a tiny bit lower than the other? its much puffier and heavy eyelids than the other one. natural treatment? why heavier?

Accepted Answer

Blepharoptosis: Without pictures it is difficult to answer but what you are describing could be dermatochalasis or blepharochalasis with ptosis. Please see a board certified plastic surgeon for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment.

Question 7

post blepharoplasty 1+year.   milia under lower eyelids.   removed in-office.  grew right back.   surgically removed resulting in discoloration, lines & yellow raised bump-line-channel under one eye.  injected filler dissolver with little result?

Accepted Answer

: You may benefit from IPL / BBL (broad band laser) to prevent this.  Don't think that filler is the answer. Also, very benign microneedling might help.  No more surgery or filler in this situation in my opinion.

Question 8

i have a constant pulse under one eye lower lid, in time with my heart beats for the past two weeks. you can clearly see it pumping. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Lid irritation: More often than not this is related to eyelid irritation.  Use some artificial tears regularly, like 4 times a day and see how it does! if not better, see an ophthalmologist.

Question 9

Check  your weight for any recent gain and consult your family doctor. Gradual bagginess of the skin of the lower eyelids is often an inherited condition.

Question 10
