A patient presented to us to treat the asymmetry in eye sizes, between the two eyes. She had been suggested oculoplastic surgery by another surgeon for her eyelid to treat the left eye, which was smaller and appeared asymmetrical compared to her right eye. She did not want eyelid surgery, but wanted to evaluate a non-surgical option. We decided to treat her with an under eye filler injection treatment and Botox injections. While the filler fills the under eye tear trough deformity and reduces the “valley’ below the eye; the Botox injection in the under eye area flattens the ‘mountain’ – the rolled out hypertrophic orbicularis oculi eyelid muscle, which was making the left eye appear even smaller, on smiling. The combination of the treatments made her eyes symmetrical, removed the under eye dark circles & transformed her eyes, smile & face! This video demonstrates how non surgical techniques can be used to symmetrize the eye size.
