Do I have ptosis, triple eyelids, or a combo? What would improve this? (photos)

Wondering what is the best court of action. My left eye (seen on the right side because it is a mirrored picture) seems to always hav this ptosis and triple eyelid going on. When I got consecutive sleep for several month, the triple eyelid did go away back in college but that's not a permanent solution. Just would like for someone to confirm that I have ptosis and extra skin and what my options are from least to not invasive. Thank you!

If you told me that all the cousins also had ptosis, then it would much more likely it was a "genetic" ptosis. I have seen identical twins where one had "congenital" ptosis and the other...
