Based on the photo you provided, it appears that you have both ptosis (drooping of the upper eyelid) and upper eyelid exposure. A thorough evaluation by a qualified healthcare professional is necessary to determine the most appropriate course of treatment, but here are some potential options:

-Ptosis repair: This surgery involves tightening the levator muscle, which lifts the eyelid. The specific technique used will depend on the severity and underlying cause of the ptosis.
-Upper blepharoplasty: This surgery involves removing excess skin and/or fat from the upper eyelid to improve the appearance and reduce eyelid exposure.
-Canthoplasty: This surgery can be used to correct a negative canthal tilt, which is a downward slant to the outer corner of the eye. It involves repositioning and tightening the canthal tendon to create a more youthful and natural-looking appearance.

It's important to discuss your individual concerns and goals with a qualified healthcare professional who specializes in eyelid surgery to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for you. They can evaluate your specific needs and recommend the most effective surgical techniques to achieve the best possible outcome.

Best of luck !
