Do I have extra skin above one eye?

December 16, 2013
Asked By:Junglebees

For at least several years, I've noticed that my right ("larger") eye appears to have an extra fold of skin on the upper eyelid. However, after doing some research on ptosis and upper blepharotomies, wonder if the problem may exist with my left ("smaller") eyelid. At least from my perspective, it doesn't seem that either eyelid is drooping, but I'm generally confused about what condition I might have causing my eyes to appear differenently sized, and if there are any non-surgical alternatives?
