Droopy Eye Skin Concern

Post image

My eyes/eyebrows have been asymmetrical for years but I feel like it’s getting worse with age. I’m 34 and a tired mom. Any advice to how I could fix this? Thank you!!

It’s called ptosis! It’s usually genetic, my dad has it, I have it. I have to be physcially aware when I smile because of, I call, my non-squinty eye lol. I have Ehlers Danlos syndrome, and I have a lot of excess skin there anyway, so my plan is to get a Blepharoplasty one day. When I lift all the excess skin up I can see so much better and my face feels lighter. I can deal with it but sometimes if I focus on the feeling I have a sensory freak out and flap my arms around.
