How can I make my right eye more upturned to match the left without reducing sclera show? (photos)

Question

How can i make my right eye more positively tilted so it’s the same degree as my left? I know fixing sclera show would help but i ideally want to keep my sclera show as despite it not being the conventional opinion i actually like the look. I was thinking of a temporal brow lift but as far as im aware that will also reduce sclera show. Would a canthoplasty to raise the corner of the right eye work for this purpose? Any surgery or non surgical ideas? Thank you v much.

Looking at the photos I think that you might have ptosis as well. If so this also has to be corrected. For scleral show the best and most reliable solution would be a canthopexy with upper eyelid incision, in a close proximity to lateral eye canthus, for better and precise control. With temporal lift, it is also possible to do it, but it might not be very strong if not performed correctly. Good luck!
