In 2013 I had a sty on my eye. It went away but left my eyelid looking lazy. Is this ptosis or just a droopy eyelid?

I never had this as a child? In the summer of 2013 i woke up with a stye in my left eye. Eventually it dissapeared but i feel like it left my eyelid looking lazy, or droopy. Although it went on and off but i feel like its been noticable lately.Please help me diagnose this and tell if i need surgery and also how must does it normally cost.Lastly i seen all this websites about eyelid lift and was wondering if they work for my case?
