Ptosis
It does appear from the photograph that ptosis is present in both eyes with the left being worse than the right. Important to see oculoplastic surgeon Who is well versed in ptosis repair for best results.

Eyelid ptosis
In general, surgery is necessary to correct ptosis of the eyelid. I would recommend consulting with a board certified oculoplastic surgeon, as he/she will be able to examine your eyes in person and provide you with advice. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

Ptosis
It is very hard to tell from this photo; but assuming you are not blinking, it looks like you do, more on the left than on the right.

Eyelid Ptosis
There are a couple of issues here. There is a lack of the upper eyelid crease as well as ptosis, both of which contribute to your asymmetry. Please consult with a board certified specialist who can assist you in achieving the results you seek.

Congenital ptosis
It does appears you have upper eyelid ptosis, left more than right. That is likely congenital for you, due to weak levator muscle. See an oculoplastic specialist for evaluation and treatment options.

Eyelid Ptosis
Yes, you appear to have bilateral eyelid ptosis with the left worse than the right and surgery is the only option. See an Occuloplastic surgeon with significant experience in this and Asian eyelids.

Upper eyelid ptosis may be diagnosed by an ophthalmologist.
Upper eyelid ptosis is when your eyelid margin is too low. Based on your limited photo which shows your left eyelid lower than your right, you may in fact have ptosis. A diagnosis could be confirmed by an ophthalmologist, and repair performed by a reputable oculoplastic surgeon.
Hope this helps you.

You appear to have ptosis of the left upper lid. It may be due to muscle weakness on that side and can be corrected. I would suggest you see an ophthalmologist that has experience with this procedure.
