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. 

looking at your photos, I only like one of them and that is the one you are looking right at the camera. The other two are not straight shots and not good for evaluation of patient. form that photo, it appears that you have a left eyebrow ptosis. So you need to have possibly little Botox injected on either side to get your eyebrows symmetrical. 

Although you may have very slight left upper eyelid ptosis, you have more prominent bony facial asymmetry with left side of face being smaller than the right, contributing to a lower brow position on the left side.  There are nonsurgical and surgical options to help the asymmetry.

Based on the photo   your left brow is lower which pushes the lid down..  If this is the case.  Mild elevation of the brow at or behind the hairline can help.

your eyelid function needs to be checked to see if this is a lid position problem which requires a different procedure.

Hi @DandC,
A drooping upper eyelid is very common and may be due to a natural stretching of the muscle that lifts the eyelid (Levator Muscle). Medically, "Eyelid Drooping" is referred to as eyelid ptosis. 
The incision for eyelid ptosis repair is the same one used for an eyelid lift blepharoplasty. Many times these problems exist together and should be recognized and repaired by your plastic surgeon. 
Any plastic surgeon who can treat Eyelid Ptosis should be qualified to help you.
Goodluck,

Asymmetry is the normal in eyes. ears and breasts. Your difference is subtle and a dynamic examination is needed to see your muscles in movement. It may be a bony issue too and everyone's bony structure is slightly asymmetrical. Unless it was causing functional problems it is not an urgent issue to be addressed but as you age (40s 50s) you could be considered for eyelid rejuvenation.
Wish you the best in your journey,

 The photographs demonstrate normal eyelid asymmetry. When the droop is significant enough  And blocking your vision, then consider surgery to help with ptosis. Cosmetic eyelid surgery will be of no benefit.

Thank you for posting your photos. The fact that your eyes looked normal back in August and that you have developed unilateral (left) eyelid ptosis gradually over 1-2 months requires a full evaluation. Your medical history along with a good physical exam and even intracranial imaging would be a good start. Do not let this go one for too long. It is better to do a full work up and find out that this is just normal facial asymmetry than let this be secondary to a bigger problem medical problem (e.g. intracranial mass, etc.). Assuming this is just an aesthetic concern, ptosis surgery could improve your appearance. This surgery can be performed with an hidden incision behind the eyelid, considering your ptosis seems to be minimal. Please find an oculoplastic surgeon in your area to get evaluated. Hope this was helpful. Good luck!
