I have too round, droopy eyes and one eyelid has excess skin. I'm looking for a solution (Photo)

Question

Since I was advised to add better photos to show my concerns and add more information on my previous question, here it is. My eyes look too round and the droopy eyelids give me a tired appearance. I was hoping for something that makes my eyes more almond shaped. Something similar to the last picture is what I desire. I would like a permanent solution, or something long term. Any help is appreciated.

The shape and contour of the eye socket globe, and I lids vary from person to person. There are certain characteristics associated with different ethnic backgrounds. It’s important to take this into consideration. it’s important to take this into consideration, when deciding, if and what procedure may be appropriate.
To me, your eyes and eyelids are fairly ideal without a clear indication of surgical intervention. You don’t have significant eyelid ptosis, and it doesn’t appear that your eyelids are blocking your vision. I don’t think you have a tired appearance and perhaps you’re being a bit critical of your own appearance.
I think you need reassurance more than surgical intervention. People should avoid having surgery unless there’s a clear indication. Postoperative patient satisfaction goes down significantly if somebody does not have a clear indication for surgical intervention.
I suggest being cautious and conservative in regards to decision making regarding permanent and irreversible surgical correction.
If you’re not sure, then I suggest giving yourself a timer and not rushing into having surgery.
In order for surgery to be justified there have to be a reasonable risk benefit ratio.
Best,
