My lower lids always seem to be sagging down from the outer corners. Also I feel like upper lids are being weighed down and are partially being covered by the excess skin on top of it. I'm wonders if either a canthoplasty or a upper blepharoplasty will help my eyes achieve a more almond shape such as the second picture. Could these two surgeries be combined and, if so what would be the average cost of these two surgeries?
