I am half-Asian with large eyes, thick eye creases. An Asian Eyelid surgery wouldn't really make sense for me since I already have very thick caucasian creases.Oddly, my eyes are pretty shallow-set, in fact, they bulge out a bit. This makes my profile look very weird. I think that if my eyes were deeper set into the head..it would look much better. It sounds like a drastic and scary operation though. Any idea if it can be done and how? Thanks!

Answer: Prominent Eyes When patients are noted to have prominent eyes, they should be evaluated for both congenital and medical conditions. Medical conditions such as hyperthyroidism can cause prominent globes, while congenital conditions can cause the boney orbits to be small. Both conditions can make the eyes protrude in an outward direction.The vast majority of patients with slight eye prominence fall into normal range. The vast majority of these patients aren't bothered by the appearance of their eyes.Rarely, patients request treatment of this condition. Under these circumstances, it's possible to make the eyes more deep set by performing an operation known as an orbital decompression procedure. Unfortunately, this procedure is complicated and has a poor risk benefit ratio and for this reason, is only rarely utilized unless severe deformities are present.When patients are concerned about prominent eyes, it's important that they be evaluated by a board certified plastic surgeon. This surgeon should be able to formulate a treatment plan that addresses their anatomic findings and aesthetic goals.

Answer: Deeper eye sockets: It can be done, but it should NOT be done. Orbital decompression is the name of the procedure done to achieve what you're describing. But it's an operation reserved for significant eye problems from diseases such as Graves' ophthalmopathy. A frequent side-effect of such decompression surgery is diplopia--double vision--which has to be subsequently corrected by additional surgery on the eye muscles.

Answer: Wanting deeper set eyes The eyeballs cannot be made more deep-set into the orbit of the face. Fat pads when present on the lower lids can make the area look puffy, these can be removed to create the illusion of a more inset eyelid. However, the puffiness has to be present first prior to removing any of that lower orbital fat.
