Yes: Usually the any distortion can be improved or corrected, depending on the cause of the deformity. Time is of importance, as the lids are a dynamic tissue which often "self" correct with function. Reconstruction usually should wait 6+ months to permit those changes to occur.

Yes: Most eyelid distortions can be improved or corrected dependent on actual cause. Since eyelids are dynamic and moving, early distortions tend to improve over time. Usually should wait 6 months prior to considering intervention.

Visit your surgeon: Or consult with a new one. Things can usually be done to improve asymmetry. However, it is important to understand that everyone is asymmetric (doesn't match up perfectly). Although you may see something which doesn't "match up, " it may not be best to correct it. This is, it may have been present before surgery, or it may not be worth the effort to have revision surgery. Best wishes.

Lid Asymmetry: The number one cause of lid asymmetry before or after blepharoplasty is uneven position of the eyebrows. It turns out that most people have brow asymmetry due (usually) to a tendency for the muscles over one eyebrow to pull more than the other. This in turn makes the less active side look droopier in the lid. My advice is not to try to correct lid asymmetry as it is a normal part of the human face.
