One eyelid is lower than the other - how to fix? (Photo)

April 11, 2024
Asked By:catchmac in Saskatchewan, Canada

For a few years now i have noticed my left eyelid is lower than the right. I don’t believe it was always like this (unless it was very subtle to begin with). From minimal research, i’m not sure if it may be ptosis, extra eyelid skin, or something else. Is there a way to fix this, and what might it be?
