Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I understand that at this young age it feels awkward to have such eyes. This problem is seen many times after recovery from Bell's palsy. Imbalance in the contraction of the lid muscles on the two sides is responsible for it. Usually the eye, which is affected by Bell’s palsy, is bigger.
Most of the patients are able to live comfortably with it. It is not a medically threatening condition. However to correct the cosmetic part injection like Botox can be given. It is expensive and will be needed repeatedly. You can consult a neurologist in your area who can give you this.
Get back to me if you have any more queries.
Good luck.
