Im 24 Year Old Male and Want to Know if Canthoplasty and Blepharoplasty Would Be I Deal for my Eyes my Droopy Eyes? (photo)

 The upper eyelid ptosis can be repaired to give you a less droopy look.   This is the surgery into which you should look.

Ptosis or drooping of  the upper eyelids has multiple causes. You will need to be assessed by your plastic surgeon. This may even be a medical condition such as myasthenia gravis.

Assuming this is a mechanical problem, this can be corrected surgically using different techniques according to the severity of the condition. There are two different types of muscle that lift the eyelid, and these can be tightened in surgical procedures to elevate the eyelid more effectively. Neither canthoplasty nor regular blepharoplasty would be appropriate on their own. Ptosis correction surgery is often combined with blepharoplasty however.

You may have some issues that can be addressed. You may have some upper eyelid ptosis and you  do show more of the lateral triangle of sclera on the left than the right.  Concerning the lower lid, the surgery may more trouble than it's worth for you.  You may consider upper eyelid correction of potential ptosis. Consult with a BC Oculoplastic surgeon or plastic surgeon for an exam and recommendations.

You have upper eyelid ptosis (droopy) which can definitely be lifted (Ptosis surgery).  You do not need canthoplasty or blepharoplasty.  See an oculoplastic surgeon.

You eye opening is less than ideal and the right side opens less than left. The surgery is called ptosis repair. There are a couple of different approaches to ptosis repair. It's used to open up your eyes more (vertically) and improve the asymmetry between two sides. This the the surgery you should focus on rather than canthoplasty or blepharoplasty.

Thanks for the pictures.  From the pictures it seems the position of your right upper eyelid is lower than the left upper eyelid (although both may be a bit low when your eyes are open).  This is a condition called ptosis.  There are surgeries to lift the position of the eyelids to a more functional/ aesthetically pleasing position.  This is called ptosis repair and is not the same as blepharoplasty.

I hope this helps!

From the pictures presented, it appears that you may have ptosis.  This is best treated by an Oculoplastic surgeon and is  usually submitted to insurance for medical necessity for restriction of vision.  Canthoplasty is not needed

You have a condition we call ptosis, which causes the droopiness you are complaining of, you need a surgical procedure to correct this problem if desired, I recommend consulting with your local board certified plastic, facial plastic or oculoplastic surgeon. Good luck.

I also agree with the other physicians that have commented.  You have ptosis and need to see an Oculoplastic surgeon.

I agree with the other physicians in that you have ptosis of the eyelids and not a true redundancy of skin. This can be repaired to give a more rested and rejuvenated look.
