Uneven Eyelids or Ptosis because lack of sleep? (photos)

February 4, 2017
Asked By:jhsc95 in Jujuy, AR

I noticed when I dont get enough sleep one of my eyelids crease higher than the other, it folds higher. I noticed the folding line changed and theres two lines now. This doesnt happens when I get enough sleep, but if I sleep less than 4/5 hours the eyelid starts to get higher and bigger than the other and it goes back to normal in a few days. Is it ptosis? Do I need surgery or is there a way to fix it without it? That eye usually gets tired easily so I'm worried it will get worse
