I would like to tighten my temples to lift my eyes laterally to make my eyes look sharper. Options?

MkiteaApr 9, 2019
I have been seeing some tightening/lifting techniques using threads underneath the skin. My eyes seems a bit smaller compared to how it use to look when I was younger. I would like to tighten my temples to lift my eyes laterally to make my eyes look sharper. Is there a technique particularly for this? Attached I have a photo of my normal eyes vs how I would like it to look (tightened). I want to achieve a similar look when I tie my hair up really tight. Also how long do threads last? Pros/cons

It is hard to see from the photo, but it looks like you may have some buckling of the skin from the threads. These "bumps" will usually settle down and eventually go away by itself usually between 1-2 weeks but sometimes they can persist for several weeks. If this is really bothering you, the ...
