Hello! Age 28 female. All my life, I have been told I look tired. I suspect I have: - Ptosis - Scleral show - Weak eyebrow muscle on left eye As the day goes my eyebrows/eyelids start to feel very heavy, which makes it a bit hard to stay energized because I work from. What would be the best procedure(s)? Ptosis surgery? Upper blepharoplasty or eyebrow lift? Is there anything that can be done to reduce scleral show, or is best to steer away?

It is unusual for swelling after upper blepharoplasty to last that long but not impossible. In same cases lymphatic drainage in the area is reason for much longer resolution of swelling after lower and upper blepharoplasty as well. Hope this helps.
Judging from your pictures, you could be a candidate for fat grafting to help add additional volume. Best to have an in person consultation with an eyelid expert.
Looking at your last picture I would recommend lower lid resurfacing with erbium laser over a lower lid skin pinch. It tightens skin, builds collagen, and would help with some of the deeper lines heading towards the cheek. There is a little more down time with the erbium laser lower lid...
