My eyes seem to always look tired and uneven especially from side views. They seem to be drooping which i feel is not normal for my young age. My eyes look tilted down and uneven from my side view and gives me the illusion of being sad. Also my upper eyelid looks like it's being weighed down by extra skin on top of it. Is there any type of surgery to help alleviate these problems with my eyes?

Answer: Is There Any Permanent Procedure to Correct Sad Looking Eyes...
The important thing to remember is that eyelids come in all shapes and sizes. Family history as well as your own genetic makeup contribute to how the eyelids will make you appear. It is extremely important for you to see someone who is highly experienced in performing not only eyelid surgery, but also browlift surgery. Sometimes, lifting the eyebrows can make the eyelids appear less heavy. So if they are raised, then an immediate improvement may be seen. Then, if there is any skin left over, it can be removed at the same time.

Answer: Yet another opinion on correcting sad eye look
For cases such as yours, I would start with only an upper lid belpharoplasty to remove some of the excess skin. A canthoplasty, which lifts the outer corner of the eye, is usually only done when it is lower than the inner corner. (Imagine a line going from the inner corner to the outer; if it angles downward to the outside, then maybe canthoplasty. Yours does not appear to.) Browlifts on men are a really tricky issue, and often just don't look good. It does not appear to me from the photos that your brow is too low.
