uneven eyes

hello
i'm a 20 year old girl, and there is something about my looks that devistates me. i have large eyes which are supposed to be my main charm point, but the problem is that they are uneven. one has a double eyelid on top of it (and this one looks great alone), and the other is hooded (the lid isn't visible, kinda like asian eyes, only larger).
it looks scary it's like i have a different face on each side. my eyes look exactly like the eyes of this actress (only without the loads of make up that's making her look a lot better)

is there anything that can fix this problem?
some kind of brow lift that will show a lid above my hooded eye, while not raising my eyebrow too much in proportion to my other brow which i would like to keep in its place?

thank you very much for your time

Yes there are procedure to do both corrections.  

You would need to find an excellent surgeon.  Any surgery around the eye can result in dry eye, if done incorrectly. Dry eye sounds like no big deal, but a person CAN go blind from it, so you want to make certain your Doctor is knowledgeable about this and makes it a point to not take so much out that one cannot close their eye correctly.

If you can find an eye surgeon that is also board certified in plastic surgery... I mean one of the two big outfits that certify... ABPS is one.  Check, Check, Check on surgeons before you go see one.

Find out where they went to school and where they graduated in their class.  You don't want someone who graduated in the bottom of their class.

Check with your State Medical Board about their history.  Google them.  If you get down to a couple you are interested in spend 25 dollars or so for a history that tells how many times and for what, they have been sued.

Make an appointment to talk to a Doctor, if you feel like you are getting sold, or don't like or trust the Dr.  Run.

Don't let anyone cut on you, that you don't trust.

Don't let anyone who is offended by your questions or who blows them off cut on you.

I recommend you consider a female plastic surgeon with good qualifications, they maybe more in tune with what a woman wants.  Male surgeons are often on huge power trips.

Make certain that you make yourself clearly understood, take a list if you get nervous and cannot remember.  Afterwards, make a note that you discussed this with your doctor.  If you can, get the date and time stamped on it some where...

Watch and see if he makes notes when he is talking to you... this informaiton should be what he works off of, when he does your surgery.

I also have uneven eyes but I think it is natural for us to notice it a lot more than others. If it really bothers you there is a procedure they can do to add a flap on the one that looks asian. It is very common in asia.You should ask the doctor in the expert forum to see what he thinks.
Good luck.

I have a problem with my eyes too. I have very large eyes aswell which are also supposed to be my main charm point, but one of my eyes looks bigger than the other becuase the skin under my right eye droops lower showing more of the white of my eye. It makes me look totally different depending on what side of my face you are looking at. Would i be able to have plastic surgery to fix this?
Thanks
