20 year old with drooping/asymmetrical eyelid. What can be done? (Photo)

April 7, 2016
Asked By:Leila95 in Ontario, CA

I've noticed that my left eyelid (with the beauty mark underneath) is lower than my right and the shape and taper of the end is different. I'm not sure if this is a genetic trait or if it has been acquired. I also have been using a prostaglandin analogue to make my lashes longer and have read that it can cause periocular changes such as ptosis and fat loss. Any insight and possible solutions would help. Im very concerned and insecure about the disparity.
