Why is one of my eyes "squintier" than the other? (photo)

Question

A few years ago my right eye became swollen after I hit heads really hard with another girl and since it healed I feel like one of my eyes look smaller than the other, is this all in my head or???

Unforutnaltey you're looking down in the photo and so it's not easy to know if you do or not, but you might have ptosis of the eyelids.  You can ask your primary doctor about examining you for it and make a referral to a plastic surgeon if needed.  Be sure to discuss your goals and concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon and consider the pros and the cons. Be certain your surgeon is properly certified.  I've attached a link where you can start your search.

Hi Okaylah,
Interesting question... I can't tell enough from the one photo that you posted. I don't see anything that's dramatically different. 
I would suggest being evaluated in person, there is so much more that can be seen in person.
Hope this helps!
