Asymmetric Eyelid Opening

Asymmetry following ptosis surgery often reflects unequal muscle response, asymmetric scarring, prior fixation differences, or compensatory brow elevation, rather than simple discrepancies in eyelid height.

Attempting to match eyelid height alone frequently results in overcorrection on one side or instability on the other.
Dr. Ahn instead evaluates dynamic eyelid opening patterns, brow position, facial dominance, and eye contact mechanics.

Revision planning is based on how the eyes function and appear during real-life movement, conversation, and expression, not only in static photographs.

By restoring balanced eyelid mechanics on both sides, Dr. Ahn achieves symmetry that remains natural during blinking, gaze shifts, and facial expression.
