What surgery would I need to fix my downturned eyes? (photos)

Question

I’m constantly raising my eyebrows to minimize the sad/tired appearance my natural rested eyes give me. The first picture is my normal eyes and the second is how I raise my brows to make them look. What can I do to make it look like the second picture?

David K. Isaacs, MD, FACS · Answer

Surgery is typically performed to address downturned eyes.

This can include surgery on the lateral canthus, the lower eyelid, the cheek, and the upper eyelid. I mention the upper eyelid because I would want to see if you have eyelid ptosis (droopy eyelids).

You need an in-person evaluation because it depends on what is contributing to the appearance.

Mehryar (Ray) Taban, MD, FACS · Answer

This may required lower eyelid retraction surgery with canthoplasty and possibly ptosis surgery. Need more detailed evaluation to determine. See an expert.

Ayse Dolar Bilge, MD · Answer

You probably have mild ptosis so ptosis surgery can be good option for you.Hope it helps.Best regardsDr. Ayse
