I realized that my eyes were uneven when I was in 8th grade when someone pointed it out. In pictures of me when I was younger, the uneven eyes were not nearly as prominent. My right trapezius sits lower than my left and my collar bone is also slanted. Im 16 and a junior in high school. is there anything I can do to help or any small surgeries I could get in the future, it has made me extremely self conscious these past few months. Also one of my ears sits lower than the other.
