Agree that ptosis repair is indicated

I agree with Dr. Steinsapir that you have ptosis (drooping) of both upper eyelids. You also have some wrinkling of the lower eyelids that could be improved. I suggest upper eyelid ptosis repair and possible lower eyelid removal of skin.

Young woman with subtle eyelid differences

Angie, I agree with you, although I will point out that from the photos the difference between the two eyes is very small (the left upper lid looks to be about 1mm lower).

I agree that you will benefit from eyelid surgery.

Angie You have levator dehisence ptosis. Both eyes have ptosis or droopiness. The left side looks to be worse but you make a greater effort lifting the eyebrow on the right side.

Female

Ou appear to have minimal skin folds on the upper and lower lids at this time. I think you are best off leaving them alone at this time in your life

Eye surgery

What Type of Procedure Would I Need for my Eyes?

From the photos, of your eyes, it does appear that you may have some true upper eyelid ptosis of the left eyelid. The correction would be ptosis repair on that eyelid.
