Thanks for your photos and questions. Two important causes of upper eyelid asymmetry are ptosis and excess skin. It looks like you are looking slightly up (or have your head tilted a bit down) in the photos, so it is hard to be gauge this exactly. The upper eyelid appears to ride slightly lower on the eyeball (ptosis) and have more excess skin covering the eyelid crease and giving the eye a smaller appearance. While these issues can readily be addressed with ptosis repair and blepharoplasty, it is important to evaluate the anatomy of the orbit (eye socket) as sometimes the eye can be pushed forward or pulled backward by eye socket problems. This can only be done with an in-person exam. I recommend seeing a board-certified oculoplastic surgeon who will be able to make necessary measurements, determine the cause of these issues, and devise a treatment plan personalized to address your concerns safely. Hope this helps!
