Correction of scleral show/ dropping lower eyelids, Surgery or fillers? (photos)

March 31, 2016
Asked By:JosephineSch in Germany, DE

I am 24 years young and I have a inherited scleral show. Furthermore I've been battling with dry and irritated eyes for several years now, maybe caused by the dropping corners of my eyes. I've read a lot about of surgerys like canthopexy and hyaluronic fillers, which can allegedly fix scleral show. Could you please give me any advise on how to improve it, what steps I should take further? I'm so dissatisfied, when I look into the mirror! Any answer is much appreciated! Thanks!
