Can wearing contacts cause ptosis in one eye? (Photo)

Humorous22870
I am fairly certain my right eye has ptosis (self diagnosed) and possibly my left. I have worn contacts for 17 years, but have also played a contact sport for 9 years with several concussions. Would wearing contacts account for the difference seen here in one eye? Or should I be concerned about anything beyond aesthetics at this point?
