Facial asymmetry is commonly seen in both children and adults. Your child's picture demonstrates mild facial asymmetry which would be considered in the normal range. This asymmetry has the potential to improve with facial growth and the passage of time. For these reasons, it's important not to be overly concerned about your child's appearance. If you continue to have concerns, it's appropriate to consult your pediatrician. Your pediatrician should be able to reassure you and alleviate your anxiety.
Your question is helpful for many new parents. We all become super-anxious and critical when it has to do with our babies. Any initial concerns should be shared with an ophthalmologist in person, because there are rare conditions that could lead to asymmetry; however, everything appeares within the normal range in your baby's face.

There is a small difference in size, I agree. Right now the eyes are big relative to the rest of the face. Over time, as the face grows, the eyes look less prominent. However, I do recommend your have your baby assessed by an ophthalmologist where you live. Very rarely, increased pressure inside the eye can cause the eyes to be larger than normal. Generally this goes along with other symptoms such as tearing, light sensitivity, red eye. An examination by a general ophthalmologist will reassure you that your mother's intuition is not being ignored.

Thank you for providing a photo regarding your concerns. Facial asymmetry is normal and your baby's face looks adorable. The concerns you have are unfounded and with time, it is expected that you will be less and less concerned about this as there are many other more important issues facing your child. If you do find that the asymmetry is excessive, you can seek the counsel of a oculoplastic surgeon to find out if something is really wrong or if this is completely normal.
Yes I see a very minor asymmetry in the orbital and anatomic structures. Best to either allow more growth like 6 months or seek in person evaluation from Peds eye doc or Cranial facial surgeon.

Upper blepharoplasty is probably the best procedure for your upper eyelids. In regards to your lower eyelids, you can benefit from lower blepharoplasty (fat repositioning or remval) and skin tightening with peel or laser. See an oculoplastic surgeon.
Bags under the lower eyelids are usually caused by displaced fat, redundant muscle, redundant skin, or sometimes even a prominent vascular plexus giving the aesthetics of lower lid bags or dark circles. Early volume loss in your upper cheek and tear trough area can exacerbate even a small amount...
Eyelid ptosis (droopiness) always gets worse when one is tired because it becomes harder to pull the eyelid up as you are tired. See an oculoplastic specialist for evaluation.
