Droopiness of the eyelid could be caused by a variety of factors. Our studies have demonstrated that wearing contact lenses may cause eyelid ptosis. Regardless, it could be corrected unless it is part of a generalized muscle disease, which it is extremely rare. While your picture are not optimal for the assessment, you most likely have eyelid ptosis on both sides and it is not noticeable on the right side because of 2 reasons. One reason is that you most likely are recruiting your forehead muscle to lift the right eyelid which also raises your right eyebrow. The second reason is that your right eye (the globe) is sightly more forward on the right compared to the left. This type of asymmetry is extremely common. You need to consult a plastic surgeon who is familiar with these matters and eyelid ptosis correction.

Hi there. Please understand that the definitive answer rests with an in-person evaluation and consultation. At this stage, Botox may be an effective intervention for the symptoms described. Hope this is helpful. Best wishes.
Thank you for sharing your question. Unless you have very unusual eyelids that you were born with, it is unlikely that you are a candidate for eyelid surgery at your age. Make an appointment with an experienced board-certified Oculoplastic Surgeon if you have questions. Good luck.
Put some warm compresses on 4 times a day. THey usually will start to improve after a few days. If the whole lid gets red, warm and tender, then you may need antibiotics. If not, let it resolve which can take a while. If it doesn't go away see an oculoplastic surgeon who...
