One sided ptosis/eyebrow droop (late 20s male). Recommendations on course of action? (photo)

LjmorrisonDec 21, 2017
One eye has been drooping for ~3 years, at first I thought just ptosis of upper eyelid but I’ve noticed that eyebrow does also seem lower. Noticeable in pictures. I also have malar bag/festoon ONLY on that side, not sure if relevant. Had regular eye dr check it out and it isn’t drier/more irritated than the other. Tried eye drops/allergy drops no result. What would be the best course of action? Botox to try lifting that brow? Or is the ptosis likely causing the other asymmetries? Surgery?

Hello CJ_ohnson,  Thank you for sharing your photograph.  It is unclear from the photos you have submitted what this may be.  It may be coming from the lining of the eye (the conjunctiva), the fleshy tissue in the corner (caruncle), or the eyelid itself.  Either way, it...
