Realized several years ago from photos that my eyelids don't match; one is droopy and wrinkled. I don't know if it because of my bone structure or maybe when I was scratched by a cat as a child. It really bothers me! Thank you

Answer: Ptosis It looks like you may have ptosis of the one eye and that is why they are different. Best to see a specialist to fix that for you.

Answer: Droopy eyelid Very interesting issue I see quite often. The question is did your eyes look more like your left or more like your right 10 years ago. The left upper eyelid seems retracted. Thyroid disease can cause this amongst other things. I would suggest going to your internist to have your thyroid levels checked. If need be this left upper eyelid can be lowered via a levator recession approach. If the problem is that your right upper eyelid is dropping from ptosis this could be raised to match the left but I would only consider that after completely ruling out any reason for the left to be retracted.
