How to fix my droopy lower eyelid?

Question

The first two pictures show my eyes when I relax them completely. The last two pictures show my eyes when I squint a little. I don't want an eyebrow lift as I would like to have a hooded look. How can I get rid of my drooping lower eyelids in particular?

Thank you for the photos. I don’t see “droopiness” here but you do have a negative canthal tilt, where the outside corner of the eye is lower than the upper. A lateral canthopexy brings the angle into the correct position

You would benefit from a mid-facelift.  This can pull up the cheek and the skin around the eye to give a more lasting result.

Best Wishes,

It looks like you may have had a previous lower eyelid, blepharoplasty with excessive removal of skin and or obicularis muscle.
Regardless of the ideology, a canthopexy or canthoplasty would be the most appropriate procedure.
I suggest consulting with oculoplastic surgeons in your community.
The procedure can also be done by plastic surgeons or facial plastic surgeons. What matters is experience much more than training.
Best,
