I had the gold weight inserted into the eyelid when I was 20, and it serves it's purpose, though I don't really like the look of it.

I discussed specifically the idea of having new muscle inserted into the face, but the scarring would have been too much (I'm trying to be an actor) and they couldn't guarantee that the result would be better...

Wonder if this would be similar to that, in terms of risk vs result?
