Q: Recommendations for tired eyes?
From your photos there is excess bulk on the upper lid giving a "curtain" appearance. Your lower lids also appear full and "baggy" giving a heavy look. The combination produces an appearance of tiredness as if you've been up all night.
An upper blepharoplasty with removal of the excess fat of the upper lid and slight removal of the skin will make a huge difference. Men should have less removal of skin, but the usual removal of fat so as to not appear overly feminized. The lower lid excess can be addressed with a trans conjunctival (incision inside the lower lid) fat removal. You may or may not require lower lid laser to make the skin smoother on the lower lids, but it is difficult to assess in your photos.
