Is there anything I can do to fix my scar and drooping eyelid? (photos)

Asked By:emmamac17 in Glasgow, KY

I fell into a glass table as a toddler and had to have my eyelid stitched back together. I have been left with a scar which is obvious (as seen in pictures) and also as I get older the outer corner of my eye is drooping and there is a significant difference in the shape of my eyes/eyelids. I wondered if there was anything that could be done to fix this as it bothers me greatly on a day to day basis and stops me having pictures taken and looking at people straight on.
