Heavy eyelids, how to fix it without surgery? I’m 23 (Photos)

Question

Hi! I wanted to know how to fix my eyes, the corner of them or whatever it is. My eyelids are too heavy and my eyes has became smaller. Also, the external corner of my eyes are dropped and it looks bad. I have hollows in my temples or at leatsbit looks like that because of my heavy eyelids. And also I have an smaller eye or maybe more dropped eye and I think it’s because of the heavier eyelids right there. I’ll show you photos. I’m just 24 and I’m looking for non surgical treatment pls!

For significant improvement, hooded eyelids require surgery if there is enough skin. For nonsurgical treatments: Radiofrequency (Thermage or Venus Legacy/Viva), injectable fillers, and a Botox brow lift can help contour the eyebrows and lift the eyelid skin. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer.

You have mild upper eyelid ptosis that can make your eyes appear smaller. Surgery is the definite treatment, but there is a new FDA approved eye drop called Upneeq which does lift the eyelids temporarily. I do not believe it is a good long lasting solution, but you may want to try it.
The outside corners (lateral canthus) of your eyelid are slightly lower that the inside corners (medial canthus). This is called "negative canthal tilt" which is a normal variation seen in eyes. Unfortunately, the only way to change this is with surgery. 
Good luck
