Do I have eyelid ptosis? Is it bad? Am I just overanalyzing my face? (Photo)

Asked By:analise45 in Wappingers Falls, NY

I've been worried about the difference in appearance in my eyelids for years but I feel as though it is more apparent that they look different. I recently was diagnosed with GPC and have read that it can exacerbate eyelid ptosis. It just really puts me down and makes me feel hideous. I can't even look at my boyfriend in the eyes because I'm worried he'll take notice and won't look at me the same. If it is ptosis, what can I do to make it better? Or make it go away completely?
