How can my eyes become more open and upturned? (Photos)

Question

My eyes are sad looking and look like they are sinking . What can I do to make them look more alive and neutral or slightly upturned ? I dont't want it to look fake like the cat eyes I see online , I simply want them to look naturally lifted and open. Why are they this way ? Are my cheeks also flat? Do I need both a ptosis correction and an upper blepharoplasty ? Would cheek filler or cheek lift or an infraorbital implant be necessary ? Canthoplasty or canthopexy ?

Kadir Berat Oyur, MD · Answer

Based on the photos, you appear to have mild upper eyelid heaviness, some degree of under-eye hollowing, and a slightly downturned lateral eye shape, which can create a tired or sad appearance. A combination of procedures may be considered depending on your examination findings, including ptosis correction if eyelid position is low, conservative upper blepharoplasty if excess skin is present, and volume restoration to the midface or tear trough area. I do not see an obvious need for aggressive procedures such as infraorbital implants. A subtle canthopexy may be beneficial in selected cases, but the best approach would depend on eyelid function, eye position, and facial anatomy during an in-person evaluation by an oculoplastic surgeon.
