I have been self conscious of my eyes for a very long time and I haven been researching ways I can treat my concerns. I believe I may be dealing with Ptosis on my right eye (left in pictures) which is causing asymmetry and sagging on eyelid. Both my eyes are hooded but I can clearly see a difference in my eyes which bothers me quite a bit and affects my confidence. Do you think this is Ptosis and would I qualify as a candidate for treatment? Thank you
