My left eye (picture right) has always had a droop or squint to it ever since I was born. However, I actually think the ptosis makes that eye look better than the one without it. I want my symmetry between my eyes though. I know it might be hard to tell in this picture but they are very asymmetrical. Is there a procedure that would close the right eye a little? Or is there a way to fix my ptosis while also elongating both eyes so they aren't as round?
