What Causes Drooping And Redness In Left Eye?

Hi, I have a couple things relating to my left eye. First, it sits lower than my right eye. Also, the eyelid droops a little bit and is noticeable (to me) when I m tired. When I m tired or haven t gotten enough sleep, the left eye is redder and seems really sunk in the socket. Finally, when I photo my face from the chin up, the left cheekbone appears flatter than the right side. I m 43 and have noticed the differences for about 20 years. When I was younger, I think the baby fat around my face and eye area disguised the differences but, when I look back, you can see the differences in bone structure and eye position. What do you think (and I know I should go see someone; would appreciate your views preliminarily).
