Im in my early 20s and in the past couple months Ive noticed that my eye brows and lids dropped. My eye lids have a fold over/crease both when my eyes are open and closed, I can feel the extra weight from this. It hasnt caused any vision loss, but it is quite annoying and Im worried it will only get worse over the years. Does this sound like ptosis? If so what is the best course of action to fix this? Because of my age is my insurance more likely to cover this or does that not make a difference?

Better pictures with an over view of your face are needed for for further evaluation. Whether orbital rim implants and lateral canthopexies would be beneficial remains to be determined.
See an oculoplastic specialist for a face to face exam first. The anatomy must be examined, both when smiling and at rest, to determine the best treatment options to improve the symmetry.
If your have lacrimal gland prolapse, this can be fixed with a straightforward surgery. The key is to make sure there is not another process going on. you need to see an orbital/oculoplastic specialist. Good luck
