I'm an 18 year old girl who has droopy, downward slanting eyes that are uneven. I would really like my eyes to slant upwards and not be so droopy. What procedure would be the best choice for me?

Answer: Downward sloping eyes
This can be a tricky procedure in a young patient. The lateral canthus (outer corner of the eyelids) normally is about 3mm higher than the medial canthus (inner corner). To change this, the eyelid has to be dis-inserted from the bone and moved up. It can be done, but can end up causing unwanted distortion in the upper lid. Find a surgeon with experience in this procedure and hopefully some before and after photos to confirm good outcomes before considering this.
