Permanent solution for genetic bulgy/big eyes?

Question

What is a permanent solution to make genetic bulgy eyes smaller? I want to avoid fillers as I dont want to have to have them repeated every now and then. I want a permanent fix to make my eyes smaller and less bulgy so I dont have to worry about any surgery anymore.

Realself is a great way to gather info, however an in-person consultation with a local surgeon will give you the best insight.  Without a detailed medical history, your age, photos, or a proper eye exam, it would be very difficult to give you good advise.  "Bulgy eyelid bags" can be genetic and/or related to aging and are often treated with blepharoplasty.  If you are referring to "bulgy eyes", where the globes are over projecting, this can be associated with many things ( poor development of the cheek structures, Graves disease).  Meet with a local surgeon for a detailed evaluation.

Although not everyone is a candidate, a possible permanent treatment for genetic bulging eyes is cosmetic orbital decompression surgery. I have a recent publication on this. You can find all the information on the following website link. Need personal consultation.

Thank you for your question.  There are various causes of "bulgy" eyes.  Without a photo, it is difficult to comment on your specific problem and to provide a treatment option.  Please post a photo or see an oculoplastic specialist for a comprehensive examination and to learn more.  Best wishes.
