Do I have a negative canthal tilt + lower lid retraction? If so, what can be done to correct this? (photo)

Asked By:eyequestionhelp in New York, NY

I would like to find out whether I have a negative canthal tilt and/or lower lid retraction. If so, is this caused by a skelatal or soft tissue deficiency? I imagine that this factors in to what methods are used to correct the canthal tilt/lower lid retraction. I also want to know if my eye area would benefit from any other treatments. Finally, how does aging affect this region of the face? Will I see my lateral brow droop down over my eyes as I age?
