Her extensive training and long-standing recognition as one of Cincinnati’s top doctors guide her approach to creating balanced eyelids while preserving each patient’s unique features.
What Causes Eyelid Asymmetry?
Eyelid asymmetry can appear for several reasons. Some people are born with naturally uneven eyelid folds. Others develop asymmetry over time due to aging, muscle laxity, excess skin, or changes in the fat pads around the eyes. Medical factors such as previous injuries, nerve function, or ptosis (drooping of the upper eyelid) may also contribute. Understanding the cause of the imbalance allows Dr. Krummen to create a personalized surgical plan that addresses both appearance and underlying anatomy.
How Blepharoplasty Helps Create Balance
Upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, or a combination of both can correct uneven eyelids by adjusting skin, fat, or muscle. When one eyelid has more excess skin or a heavier fold, upper eyelid surgery can create symmetry by removing and tightening the tissue. For those with lower lid asymmetry (such as uneven puffiness or hollowing) the procedure can reposition or remove fat for a smoother, more even contour.
In cases where muscle function contributes to eyelid drooping, ptosis repair may be incorporated to lift the eyelid to a matching height. Dr. Krummen evaluates all of these factors during your consultation, ensuring the approach is tailored to your anatomy for a natural-looking outcome.
Why Surgical Expertise Matters
Correcting asymmetry requires advanced training and an artistic eye. With decades of surgical experience and extensive knowledge of eyelid anatomy, Dr. Krummen focuses on precision, balance, and subtlety. Her goal is to enhance symmetry without changing the natural shape of your eyes. This helps maintain your unique expression while improving overall harmony.
