Doctor doesn't think this is ptosis, but rather a lack of an eyelid crease - advice? (photos)

Energetic344606
A few years ago I noticed my eyelid progressively getting more asymmetrical compared to my right. My doc says it is not noticeable but for me the asymmetry is ther and I disagree that it isn't noticeable. He did the necessary measurements and found just a 1mm drooping of the left lid, and said the aperture of the eyelids itself is quite symmetrical, but rather the eyelid CREASE is missing on the left hand side. Any ideas on what to do? It is frustrating, I would like my old eye back lol
