Could I somehow get my eye shape more tilted upwards? Eyelid surgery? Facelift / skin tightening? (photos)

As you see below, one of the pictures is me relaxing my eyes. They droop real low. The other picture is me pulling them up (which I usually try to do in public and it starts to strain my eye muscle). Could I somehow get my eye shape more tilted upwards? so that the lower lid is more upward shaped and not droopy? Id rather have thinner almond shaped eyes or just more appealing eyes without having to use my muscle constantly. (ps I did lose weight a few years back. That could have done something?)

It appears that when you are tired your eyelids are droopy. You need to be evaluated by an oculofacial plastic consultants. your age and gender can play a role in the cause of this finding. there are few neurological causes as well. So I have to emphasis for you to see someone.

Based upon the one picture you show here in a smiling pose, your issue is more one of loose skin and muscle around the orbit and not lack of volume.  It is true that you develop a "divot" or contour irregularity when you smile, but his is only because the loose skin and muscle, which have...
