I'm noticing asymmetry in my face, that wasn't there when I was younger. One eye is completely larger than the other (left bigger than right) and the left side of my face looks aged less. I hate it. I want to be as symmetrical as possible. Do I have ptosis? Is it caused by hypothyroidism or other auto immune disorders?

I agree with the other comments. At one week postop this is normal. Sometimes this can take as long as 6 weeks postop. Just keep an eye on it and I wouldn't be concerned until around 3 months postop of this didn't resolve.
Thank you for sharing your question. For mild bags, Restylane injection is a good treatment option. The tear troughs can be filled in order to hide the shadows created by the bags. See a specialist in this delicate area. Good luck,
