Is this Ptosis? (Photo)

I constantly feel tension over my right eyebrow, which is the one that is more elevated, causing me headaches. Also, I notice that my left eyebrow is lower than the right eyebrow, which sometimes causes my eyelid to droop a bit.

The asymmetry of eyebrows, left being slightly elevated, comes from your ptosis, as a compensatory mechanisam, to open your ptotic eye. Once ptosis surgery is completed, that effect on the brow will deminish and you will, very likely, end up with more or less symmetric brows. Only at that time...
