Uneven Eyelids/Eyes - can I get a treatment only on my right eye? (Photo)

Question

My right eyelid is smaller and thinner than my left one, which makes my right eyelid more hooded. It is especially prominent when I smile. My right eyelid also appears more retracted.I don't think this is because of the muscle, because I think my right eyelid just has less skin/fat than the left eyelid. This is not because of ptosis or a disease, it was just because I rubbed my right eyelid too much. If I have to get surgery for this, I would only like an operation on my right eye.

Your eyelids look normal, and the degree of asymmetry is mild and very much within one normal standard deviation.
I don’t see a clear indication for surgical intervention, and would recommend avoiding surgery at this point.
