Potential eye surgeries? 19 y/o concerned eyes are low compared with eyebrows (Photos)

Question

I'm concerned on why my eyes are so low compared to my eyebrows. I currently have a moderate/severe class 3 malloclusion which my dentist will try to fix using an MSE/facemask, and if the forward growth isn't enough to fix the bite, I will have lefort I. For this reason I feel like my under-eye area will be ok, so I'm just concerned about the upper area as I have a "tired eyes" look & large eyebrow-eye distance. Is it possible to get an eye area like the last image?

Hello! Thank you for your question. As far as I can see from your photos your eye corners are very downward and that is the cause of the tired/sad face image. For get rid of this looking I suggest you endoscopic brow lift. With this surgery your eye corners will be much upward and lifted. Also your eyes will be more slanted then now. Best Regards!

Hi there,
Based on your photos and your explanation, it seems your issues stem from slightly low brows and a condition called ptosis - or eyelids that are too low. For these reasons, you would likely benefit from a conservative temporary/lateral browlift - to lift the sides of your brows, and an upper eyelid ptosis repair to raise your eyelid height so more of your pupil is exposed. Its hard to know from your pictures, but you also may require an upper blepharoplasty to help with the excess skin on your upper eyelids - this will depend on an in-person exam. 
Hope this helps! Best of luck, Dr. Cabin

It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for sharing your question and posting your photos. You have bilateral ptosis. This can be repaired by an experienced oculoplastic surgeon with minimal downtime. Make an appointment for consultation. Good luck with your other problems!
