Double eyelids but want larger and brighter eyes, should I get double eyelid surgery or just ptosis correction? (photos)

yasminn.s
Hello, I already have natural double eyelids, however, I find that in everyday life I use my eyebrow muscles to raise my double eyelid height to make my eyes seem larger. I want to have surgery to make my eyes always like this so I don't need to use my forehead muscles to compensate for my small eye size. I am confused as to whether I should get DES with ptosis correction or simply just get ptosis correction. My eyelids have think skin and quite a lot of fat.
