My Eyes Slant Making Me Look Angry/tired? (photo)

What would be the best approach to improve the look of my eyes. I'm only 28 but the sloping has caused lots of wrinkles/bags around my eyes and make me look tired / angry all the time. One eye is also much bigger than the other. What are my options? Thank you!

There are a few surgical maneuvers that can help with the downward slant. This includes a canthopexy, and re-defining the upper lid crease laterally.The partial trade-off is that here may an extended incision laterally into the crow's feet area. A canthoplasty is another option that would drastically change the shape of you eye.

From what I can tell from the picture, I don’t think filler or even Botox would be helpful without surgery.
