Will a canthoplasty correct my lower eyelid drooping? (photo)

Question

Hi, I’d like my lower eyelid to not droop as is seen in the attached picture of me. Would a canthoplasty be the best procedure? And is this a permanent solution? (As in going to last at least ten years). I was initially interested in canthopexy but was told this was a less ideal, less permanent solution. Many thanks!

Canthoplasty is usually not adequate and what is also required is lower eyelid retraction surgery but best to have personal evaluation to determine.

Lateral canthoplasty helps with the loose lower eyelids and improves scleral show while giving a positive vector to the eye angle (also known as cat-eye, fox-eye or almond eye operation). Lateral canthoplasty is more permenant then canthopexy. 
This operation will improve thisproblem and an endoscopic brow lift will also help support your upper face as well.
