My eyes are way too high on my face. What kind of procedures can be done to make my face look better? (Photo)

Question

I’m not sure if this is exactly correct but I think my eyes are way to high on my face. It causes me to have an ugly smile. When I smile only about half of my upper teeth show and my lip curves in the middle. My bottom teeth also show a good about when I smile. I want to upgrade my entire look. Also does my cheek or mouth protrude a lot or is it just because my eyes are too high. What kind of procedures can be done to make my face look better. Can be invasive. Would rather permanent options. M18

You have a relatively long lower 1/3 of your face which draws attention to this region and gives the illusion that your eyes are positioned "too high." Adding some volume to the width of your face at the zygoma (lateral cheeks) should help to balance this somewhat. From your lateral pictures, you may benefit from volume to your midcheek as well. Facial implants may be your best long-term solution.
