What's going on with my eyes? They look completely different from each other. Do I still have ptosis? (Photos)

Kerry ann bAug 18, 2017
I had ptosis surgery 1.5 years ago on the right eye and the doctor said to do the left eye as well to get a symmetric look. He operated again on my right eye 3 months later because the 1st surgery failed. Today I look over and under corrected. A new doctor noticed that my eyes are shaped different from each other and wants a ct scan to rule out silent sinus syndrome while the first doctor said he would just lower the left lid to match the right. Any recommendations would be appreciated!
