The upper eyelid ptosis can be repaired to give you a less droopy look. This is the surgery into which you should look.

Ptosis
From the pictures presented, it appears that you may have ptosis. This is best treated by an Oculoplastic surgeon and is usually submitted to insurance for medical necessity for restriction of vision. Canthoplasty is not needed

You need a ptosis correction procedure.
Ptosis or drooping of the upper eyelids has multiple causes. You will need to be assessed by your plastic surgeon. This may even be a medical condition such as myasthenia gravis.

Improving Eyelids
You may have some issues that can be addressed. You may have some upper eyelid ptosis and you do show more of the lateral triangle of sclera on the left than the right. Concerning the lower lid, the surgery may more trouble than it's worth for you. You may consider upper eyelid correction of potential ptosis. Consult with a BC Oculoplastic surgeon or plastic surgeon for an exam and recommendations.

Droopy eyes correction
You eye opening is less than ideal and the right side opens less than left. The surgery is called ptosis repair. There are a couple of different approaches to ptosis repair. It's used to open up your eyes more (vertically) and improve the asymmetry between two sides. This the the surgery you should focus on rather than canthoplasty or blepharoplasty.
