Hi all, I am a young male seeking your input on my eye region. I would like to correct the slope of my lower eyelid, which is currently negative, to one that is positive, or least neutral. If you know of any non-surgical means of doing this, please let me know. If not, what are my surgical options and what would they, roughly, be priced at? Thanks!
Answer: Lower eyelid You need an in person consultation to determine the cause of your lower lid retraction/lateral canthal malposition. Depending on the cause will determine the treatment. Typically, these are corrected surgically with a canthoplasty and potential lower lid spacing graft. Best to see an eyelid specialist in your area.

Answer: Positive Tilt The ideal relationship between the inner and outer canthus( either corner of the eye where the lower and upper eyelids meet) should be as follows: the outer canthus should be positioned 15 degrees above the inner canthus. This relationship is called "Tilt." If they are at the same level, then the tilt is neutral. If the outer canthus is below the inner canthus, then the tilt is negative. In your photo, your tilt is almost neutral, but there is a retraction of the lower eyelid (not necessarily the outer canthus) that causes a separation of the eyelid margin, which is called "Ectropion". There is no non-surgical solution; if you want to correct this, your best option is to have an in person evaluation to understand why you have this retraction and what is causing it. The solution may be a canthopexy or a canthoplasty.

Answer: Lateral chantopexy You have negative chantal tilt, to achieve positive tilt lateral chantopexy surgery will be solution for you. It is a small surgical procedure which takes about-n hour for both sides. After surgery you’re going to have some swelling and bruising. After a week you will be able to continue your daily routine.

Answer: Temporal brow lift A temporal brow lift can include an orbicularis oculi muscle suspension that can correct a negative canthal tilt.

Answer: Correcting a Negative Canthal Tilt: Options and Considerations Thank you for your question. The photos provided are limited and focus on a very small portion of your face, which makes it difficult to offer a precise evaluation. A full set of images—including frontal and side views of the entire face—would allow for a more complete assessment of both function and aesthetics.

Answer: Lower eyelid repositioning may require surgery. And based on your singular photo, I don't think this would be to your benefit, since small asymmetries may become visible, and you do not appear to have excessive scleral show.
