Would tightening (not canthoplasty) improve my eye appearance? (Photo)

jfdjfjdssFeb 29, 2024
My lower eyelids are quite loose (laxity), have a droopy appearance. On the snap-back-test they are very mobile. The skin there is quite thin. On a walk I took a few photos from different angles. I'm very convinced that my eyelid angles on the lateral canthus are rather neutral or at most 1mm negative. In my case,could my drooping eyelids be corrected by simply tightening the eyelids? What are my (non-)invasive options? Canthoplasty in particular would only make my left eye smaller.
