Facial asymmetry - Eye is significantly droopy and right side of my face pulls to the side. What's causing it? (photo)

Asked By:Dynamic474456 in New York, New York

Over the last three years I’ve noticed that the right side of my face has been pulling towards the side and my eye has been significantly droopy. I’ve never had this issue and it has been much more noticeable. What can I do to fix this? I’m turning 31 and I’m concerned it’s because of a mini stroke or something.
