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

January 17, 2025
Asked By:ninamira

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.
