Is this ptosis?

Hi

For most of my teen age years I was sort of aware I had some sort of imbalance in my eyes. Its always been hard to characterize and I still dont know what in particular it is. One eye (pictured left) seems to be smaller than the other in appearance, but the muscles in the eyebrow above also always feel tighter, twitched sort of. I try my best to control this but end up looking worse when consciously trying to correct it. It creates a droopy appearance on that side of my face and causes a lot of obvious self esteem issues. I've tried to research what it could be but nothing I've read about seems correct.

Is anyone able to give an idea?

I'm currently 24.
