I recently noticed that there is something different about my left eyelid, and that when relaxed most of the time it does not appear to fold properly like my right one. This issue affects my eye both estheticly and functionally, as I sometimes find myself feeling discomfort. If I look in the mirror I can easily address just my eyelid by lifting my brow for a split second, but my concern is that normally my left eyelid doesn’t fold properly when I’m relaxed. I am 18 yo and this seems new, thanks.

There should be no problem having the eyelid surgery done before the BBL. We do the eyelid surgery with either local or local sedation anesthesia, so you should be fine by the time you have the BBL.
Thanks for your question and posting a photo.
