Thank you for sharing your concerns. First, your ptosis (droopy eyelid) is not caused by your weight. It is easily corrected by an experienced oculoplastic surgeon. Downtime is about 2 week and results are usually excellent. I hope you find this helpful.
You have a ptosis of the right upper lid. Has nothing to do with weight gain or loss. You should see an oculoplastic surgeon who can evaluate the lid muscles to determine what surgery would be best for you.
While some asymmetry of the face and eyes is normal if youhave ptosis of one eyelid surgery can be effective in improving this. Ptosisrepair involves tightening of the levator muscle to eliminate eyelid drooping.If excess upper eyelid skin is hooding the eye and needs to be eliminated, anincision is made in the crease at the top of the lid. The incisions are closedand sutured on the underside of the skin. The sutures are removed in four tosix days. I suggest making an appointment with a board certified plasticsurgeon who is experienced in ptosis repair.

It's always difficult to make a diagnosis based on photos but from what you've submitted, it appears that you have a mild ptosis (droopy eyelid) on the left side. It looks worse than it measures, most likely, because the eyelid crease on that side is higher than it is on the right side, and ...
Long term contact lens use, particularly hard, has been shown to cause ptosis. There are a few surgical procedures that can be performed by an oculoplastic surgeon to correct your droopy eyelid. Good luck.
