27 - Is this ptosis? What is the best way to address this? (Photos)

Question

My eyebrows are relaxed in the first picture. My eyes are uneven and my eyelids are droopy. Even if I'm raising my eyebrows, which I subconsciously do all the time ( 2nd picture), there's not much of a difference. What is the best way to address this? I'm only 27 and I feel like my eyes age me so much, they make me look tired and unfeminine.

Yes you appear to have ptosis and the only effective treatment is ptosis surgery. See an oculoplastics expert.

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

Based on your photos you do appear to have ptosis. This condition can normally be improved with a surgical procedure on the upper eyelid. I would recommend seeing an oculoplastic surgeon or a surgeon experienced in ptosis repair surgery.
