Answer: You have more sagging of the left upper eyelid the main problem is sagging of the left upper eyelid. You're quite young so this is probably a congenital problem. There are two muscles that lift the island and sometimes one of the muscles separates from the cartilage portion of the eyelid. The treatment is to make an incision in the upper eyelid and reattach muscle (the levator muscle) to the cartilage (tarsal plate). It's a fairly simple procedure that can be done under local anesthesia.
