One of My Eyelids is Dropping, What are My Options? (photo)

Your eyes are slightly asymmetric which is common. Leave them alone. No one notices this except you and you do Not need surgery! You can always find a surgeon ready to operate.

There are multiple anatomic abnormalities that can result in eyelid and facial asymmetry. These may include deformities of the orbital bones, eyelid soft tissue and eyebrows. In most cases, they are relatively minor, but in some cases, they may be severe and extremely noticeable. Depending upon the deformity, treatment may or may not be possible. Although it's hard to tell exactly what's going on from your pictures, I suspect you have boney orbital asymmetry. It appears that on the side of your droopy eyelid, you also have a depressed orbital rim and flattened cheekbone.Asymmetry of the facial bones can be a major contributor to facial asymmetry. When this occurs, it's not unusual to have one side of the face that has a depressed orbital rim and flattened cheekbone and an eye that appears smaller than the opposite side. This can result in a droopy eyelid. These findings are often related to a condition called plagiocephaly.When this situation arises, it's possible in some cases to disguise asymmetry. Unfortunately, it's not possible to correct this deformity without major surgery. In this case, a unilateral brow lift might be helpful. If you're considering treatment, it's important that you meet with a board certified plastic surgeon who can help you with this decision.

Your left upper eyelid is slightly ptotic (droopy). It is within the range of normal asymmetry. An operation to elevate the eyelid would probably cause it to be higher than your right eyelid. Botox injections could create other issues. The best advice anyone can give to you is to do nothing.
