Negative Canthal Tilt/ptosis/scleral show/hereditary lateral canthal malposition? (Photo)

Question

So done with having a tired ecpression on my face, every time I relax my face a little, my eyes droop. I'm sick of it. Spent months trying to correct this with wearing a tight ponytail. Worked a little but it stretched my eyes and made them hurt. How can I fix my negative canthal tilt to make them look like the second picture?

Please see the following link for detailed information on how to possibly achieve more almond shape eyes. Canthoplasty may do it or it may require additional concurrent step to achieve the goal.

However, yes you can have help for this upper eyelids and thoughtful lateral canthoplasty can help.  However, you are asking for a level of surgical accuracy that is beyond the level of work that most surgeons do.  For that reason, I suspect that you will be very disappointed with surgical results unless you really do your homework and find a top aesthetic reconstructive eyelid surgeon.
