Do I have sclera show and what can I do against it? (Photos)

Question

How can I make my eyes look less "droopy". My lower eyelids are really droopy, especially the more "outer side". I like my eye shape more when I smile because the facial fat seem to push the outer side of the lower eyelids up to my questions: is there a procedure to lift the lower eyelids without giving too much of a "squinty" look? Will the eyes get a lot smaller during the process? Where is the best (meaning most natural) position for lower eyelid in reference to the iris? Is some overlapping normal?

Yes you do appear to have mild lower eyelid retraction. Repair often involves adding length to the back side of the eyelid with a spacer graft and/or a cheek lift in combination with reforming the corner of the eye. Best to see an eyelid specialist in your area.
Best of luck!

Dubai: You have a little bit of scleral show at rest. You could try filler injections into the lower lid/upper cheek to see if that will be adequate for you, and if not, you could try what is called the MIOS procedure where through a small UPPER lid incision the lower lid is tightened.

It does appear you have droopy lower eyelids which is called lower eyelid retraction. You may benefit from lower eyelid retraction surgery. See an expert.
