Chalazion (eyelid sty)
Chalazion is an eyelid sty that doesn't go away. It results from blocked tear glands in the eyelids, secondary to thick oil and blepharitis.

You have a large chalazion in the left upper eyelid.
A stye refers to acute swelling and inflammation of an eyelid. Often when the stye resolves, what you are left with is a chalazion. This is a organized inflammatory nodule that is caused by oils from a plug meibomian gland leaking into the eyelid. The oils are very irritating and the body attacks them which produced the initial inflammation (stye) and ultimately this organizes into the chalazion. These can persist. An injection of kenalog usually resolves these...

Non Surgical Solution
The eyes are the windows to the soul. All too often, however, they seem to reveal exhaustion. The very delicate skin around the eyes tends to get crepey and puffy due to fatigue and stress. While it's difficult to determine without an examination and consultation, an effective non-surgical option that might benefit you is Thermage, which can tighten the skin around the eyes. The new and improved Thermage is a virtually painless, non-invasive (no incision!) treatment that can tighten skin and...

Asymmetric Eyelids
It is difficult to evaluate the asymmetry until the bump resolves. Use warm compresses and see an Ophthalmologist. Once the blocked gland has cleared, make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon or oculoplastic surgeon to discuss your options for adjusting the lid on the right or the left to match the opposite side.

Eyelids
You appear to have what is known as a chalazion, not a stye. It usually resolves without treatment, but best to see an ophthalmologist for confirmation.
