Didn't have this problem as a kid but ever since i was a teen i noticed my left eye was droopy compared to right. I understand its probably because of the extra hooding on it, but is it ptosis? And is my eye going to be fully even after doing the surgery?

Lumps can often appear that be be related or unrelated to surgery. Some common causes of bumps include the following: chalazion (blocked oil gland), prolapsed lacrimal gland, lacrimal gland cysts, and hypertrophic scarring. I would recommend seeing an eyelid specialist to determine the cause.
