My eyes are naturally a bit droopy, I'm 25 so its not excess skin or wrinkles. People often tell me I look tired or sad. I can't wear eyeliner because it just excentuates the downward shape. Can anything be done to lift the upper corners while still looking natural? I like having a round eye shape I just wish it was either more horizontal or slightly upward.

Answer: Browlift to correct downward slant of eyes
When the corners of the eye are slanting down there are 2 generally recommended solutions:
Lateral Canthoplasty- A procedure where the small ligament that attaches the eyelid to the bone of the orbit is repositioned. It is not my favorite as it can lengthen and distort the corner of the eye.
Endoscopic BrowLift- My preferred method. Thru a very small incision endoscopic instruments are used to separate and reposition the outer part of the eyelid muscle so it is angled up. It also reorients the skin lateral to the eye and the upper outer cheek to give a more global youthful effect
In your particular case I would also consider fat grafting to the upper cheek to imrpve the angle of your lower eyelid and improve the hollow under your eyes seen on the lateral picture.

Answer: Downward pointing eyes and sad tired look.
Your brows are in good position and your lids have no aging signs. Your lids naturally slant slightly downward. LEAVE THEM ALONE--they are beautiful eyes and I would hate to see them messed up!
