Question

Is my asymmetry due to eyelid or eyebrow? What is recommended to fix the difference in the size of both eyes and eyebrow. Thank you!

Your eyebrows are very asymmetrical.  You will need a browlift to correct the asymmetry.

Your facial Asymmetry is based on skeletal structure.
Your left eye socket sits higher in your skull than your right side.
This is common on most people.
In your case, it is slightly more asymmetric than most.
All people have significant facial asymmetry.
During embryological development, the two sides of the face develop independently from each other and eventually fuse in the midline.
 The human brain is accustomed to seeing people with a symmetry as being normal.
If you see a computer generated symmetrical face, you may notice they have an odd or unfamiliar appearance.
This is because you’ve never seen a symmetrical face.
Your symmetry is not on your eyelids is based on bone structure.
Any attempt to correct skeletal asymmetry with soft manipulation will only create two asymmetries that don’t match.
My best recommendation is to accept the asymmetry and recognize that all people have significant asymmetry in their face.
Other people typically don’t see asymmetry, unless it is severe.
Best,
