Surgery to turn down-turned eyes upward?

You seem to be describing a problem that we repair by elevating and tightening the corner of your eyelid (canthoplasty).  Please see a surgeon with expertise in lateral canthoplasty.

Dear Rosiewhite,

The outside corner of the eye being lower than the inside
corner of the eye is relatively common.
It gives a sad, dolorous expression and generally is unpleasant for most
patients who suffer from this downgoing corner of the mouth.

Treatment for this can be non-surgical. Simple techniques such as camouflage
injectable soft tissue fillers to support the corner of the mouth or, Botox
injections to help position the tail of the brow. The surgery involves detaching the attachment
mechanism called the lateral canthus from its abnormally low position and
lifting it to at least the horizontal plane or slightly above. Fixation sutures through the bone will be
important and post-op care would be avoiding strenuous physical activity for
about 6 weeks.

I hope this information has been of some assistance and best
of luck.
