What eyelid surgery for eyelid that doesn't show all the time? (Photos)

LuckyCharm1Mar 20, 2022
I’m 35, Sometimes I wear the circle lenses to make my eyes seems bigger as well . It’s weird because I do have an eyelid, but it doesn’t show all the times . when idon’t smile or have no expression, I feel like my eyes makes me look mean. It’s also very hard for me to even put on eyeliner because when I put them on you can’t even see it and on top of that, it doesn’t last and would sometimes smudge under my eyes when I didn’t put any liner there. What procedure would be best for me?
