Is it possible to perform a reverse ptosis?

You may not need as much surgery as you think you do.  For example it is not clear that you actually need lateral canthal surgery.  What your photos demonstrate is bilateral levator aponeurosis dehiscence. This explains why there is no real upper eyelid crease.  Most oculoplastic surgoens pr...
