Eyelid asymmetry - Heaviness and pressure on my left eye. What could it be? (photos)

Based on your pictures, it looks like you have slight ptosis of your right upper eyelid.
This condition can be corrected by shortening the levator muscle in the upper eyelid.
It’s definitely fitness procedure and to get consistent quality outcomes requires finding someone who has a skill and experience.
The procedure can be performed by plastic surgeons, facial plastic surgeons, or oculoplastic surgeons.
In the end, the background is probably not as important as experiences.
Considering that oculoplastic surgeons have a much smaller scope of practice you may want to start off by looking for oculoplastic surgeons in your community.During each consultation, ask each provider to open up their portfolio and show you their entire collection of before and after pictures.
An experience provider should have no difficulty showing you the before and after pictures of at least 50 previous patients.
That would be fairly typical of an experienced oculoplastic surgeons.
General plastic surgeons probably don’t do the procedure nearly as often and with this procedure to get consistent results probably requires having a substantial amount of experience.
It’s probably not a bad idea to have multiple consultations to find the best provider.
If this procedure isn’t done, right, the chance of having undesirable outcomes or needing revision surgery goes up.
Unilateral upper eyelid. Surgery is by its very nature complex and potentially difficult.
In the hands of the right provider, you should be able to get a nice outcome.
This procedure may be covered by medical insurance if your eyelid is blocking your visual field.
You can have a visual field test done by an oculoplastic surgeon, and ophthalmologist or an optometrist.
