I increased calories above baseline. That helped a lot.

Possibly looking upwards more for ptosis, maybe this guide will help:  http://www.observedimpulse.com/2012/10/ideal-eye-posture-relaxing-lower-eyelid.html

My daughter has ptosis and our interventions seemingly helped some (encouraging her to look up). But this is something requiring surgery for a complete fix. Some people will use something called "double eyelid tape".

Maybe try some inversion therapy yoga poses, good for posture and driving blood to the head which can be hard for a lot people. Face massage helps there too. Increase sodium for helping to get blood to the head as well if blood pressure is low. Vitamin C is underrated toward our goals, our bodies don't produce it, and it's very difficult to get therapeutic amounts from food: the buffered C-Salts version is much better than the standard stuff.

In what way? I understand for muscle growth, but how does this affect bone and trying to rotate the face up and forward?

My parents have always assured me that ptosis was present from birth. I honestly cant remember and its not this severe on older pictures, however I have also been told by my chiropractor, that I have a slight c bend scoliosis in my upper back. Its mostly only visible on xrays minus a difference in trapezius muscle tone on the left side. The shoulder-bones are properly aligned tho, odd. He said for some reason my left side is overworked, the muscles are tense and its constricting blood-flow to the left side of the head. Working on fixing this through massage, posture correction and calisthenics. It very likely has an influence on my facial development. Thx for the link and advice!

All metabolic processes are driven by nutrients whether muscle growth or bone. If you are deficient in them then bone is less likely to change. It is better to have a slight overload of nutrients than deficiency .

I eat all foods. My diet consists of mostly lean proteins, starchy carbohydrates, and vegetables. Healthy fats are also present and I limit alcohol intake to once a month as alcohol makes me overeat stuff like taco bell .

Are there peer reviewed studies on whether higher calories serve bone growth better? I don't know as I am not a pubmed geek. What I do know is that ever since I increased my calories, my height has increased (I have grown 2 inches after I turned 20). My robustness has increased too. What I mean is that my shoulders have gotten broader and my skull larger in circumference. My head used to be 22.375 inches and now it is 23.125 inches. 

The only thing I changed from graduating high school to now is eating more. I was very nutrient deficient in childhood and adolescence so who knows if I even reached my potential. What I do know is in terms of development nobody does themselves any favors by eating less. Yes it is good for body fat loss but I don't see that as necessary for myself being that I want to grow more since I feel I was robbed of said potential.

Additionally I have heard bones can grow in response to muscle growth but don't quote me on that. Who knows if my added calories that led to added muscle meant me bones grew more? I have heard that increased protein consumption (which is easier when calories are high) leads to better bone health due to it affecting your body's ability to absorb calcium in a positive way. 

Anyway my long winded post can be summed up in the fact I have never seen anyone with good bone development be someone who barely eats. No most people I have seen with strong and large/ robust bones are people who eat a healthy amount of food. Notice I said healthy and not ridiculous like 4000 calories a day or more. Unless you are a pro athlete I doubt most lay people need that much .
