Answer: Tired eyes- the answer may be the lower lids! Though it's hard to draw conclusions from a single image, unlike previously posted responses, it seems to me that some of the tired appearance you noted could be explained by the slight sagging of the lower lids, particularly the outer portion of the lower lids. Technically, this is termed lower eyelid retraction and lateral canthal dystopia. In most patients, the there shouldn't be visible white portion of the eye (sclera) above the lower lid as it crosses the front surface of the eye. Additionally, the lowest point of the lower lid is typically beneath the pupil, while in the image provided the lowest portion of the lower lid is more lateral ( towards the ear). Both of these elements, in addition to the slight dark pigmentation of the lower lids or perhaps it's shadowing, contribute to what some may consider a tired or sad appearance. The upper lids and eyebrow seem to be in excellent position, hence surgery to this area should be avoided. Fortunately, there are treatments both surgical, and non-surgical that can be offered to help address your concerns. I would recommend a detailed, in-person evaluation to better define your concerns, thoroughly evaluate your eyelid region ( forehead through the cheek), and to offer you insight into your condition and treatment options.

Answer: Procedure to create more eyelid space Thank you for posting your photo and question. First of all, you are very young and symmetric. If you were highly motivated to do anything, a very conservative upper eyelid blepharoplasty can be performed to create more eyelid space. The utmost care must be taken to avoid the possibility of being overcorrected. Best wishes.
