Now ptosis or eyelid retraction. My Problem was that my left Eye was too open. Except for when I was very tired / sleepy than it was looking like a ptosis. I had surgery on my lower eyelids cause I had visible scleral show. They used the transconjunctival technique for that. After that my eyes looked a little better but my left eye was still open at the upper lid. So in October 2021 I got surgery to fix my left upper eyelid. Now I’m not quite sure if my right eye is now too big or my left eye is now droopy. (Or swollen)

Based on the photos, it appears you are candidate for both procedures but need more detailed evaluation and discussion to determine accurately with consideration of risks and benefits. See an expert.
You have nailed the diagnosis. You have eyelid ptosis which can be cured by surgery. There are a couple different options, one of which is scarless surgery. Consult with an experienced Oculofacial plastic surgeon (Oculoplastics). Virtual consultations are available. See link below.
