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
