Raised eyebrow and drooping eyelid sign of concern? (Photo)

fitbawladMar 5, 2022
I have had a raised eyebrow and drooping eyelid for around 10 years now. I don’t recall having it when I was younger but looking back at photos over the last 10 years it is obvious. Looking up ptosis online this is usually a drooping eyelid with eyebrows level so I’m unsure if I have ptosis or it is something I should get checked out. Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Assuming the photos are not flipped (mirror image), you appear to be raising your left brow, which could mean that you also have left upper eyelid ptosis but are compensating for it by raising the brow. Also, your right lower eyelid sits lower than your left, and the right eye appears possibly...
