Is there anything I can do to fix he asymmetry of my face . . Particularly my eyes? I'm not sure why, but it definitely is getting worse and more noticeable than before. I don't feel comfortable taking pics anymore and worry that people are focusing on that when they are talking to me.

Answer: Eyelid retraction You have eyelid retraction worse on the left. This means the lid is too high and you can see white sclera above the cornea. While you may have had this all your life, it can also indicate possible thyroid issues - especially if you have noticed it worsening. See an oculoplastic surgeon for an evaluation of your eyelid muscles.

Answer: Thyroid disease likely Judging from the one photo, it appears that your eyes are bulging, especially the right. Thyroid-related Graves' disease is the most likely cause. You should consult an Oculoplastic (oculofacial plastic surgeon) regarding this condition. Non-surgical option including Botox and specialized eye drops could help you. Surgery should be reserved for vision threatening situations.
