What is causing my right eyelid to be swollen and develop more creases? (photo)

April 6, 2014
Asked By:Ellechen2014

I usually have tapered eyelids but recently my right eyelid has been swelling up and flipping wrong, another crease has developed on it (or I think it was always there, it just somehow got bigger) and now my eye isn't sure which crease to flip to. In the first picture it's my swollen eye and the second is my regular left eye. What's wrong, how can I fix this?

Answer: Not sure about the swelling but the right upper eyelid is less full than the left upper eyelid.
