I have plagiocephaly and one eye is deeper in the eye socket. Options? (photos)

Fantastic3119Aug 15, 2020
I have plagiocephaly and one eye is deeper in the socket. I was wondering if someone can fix it. The thing is plagiocephaly is so rare and no one knows about it. They only talk about This when a baby is born, but what with us adults? I know that one eye is deeper in the socket, because that is what plagio does. I was wondering if some doctor could fix this and makes it not that deep anymore that it is visible.

Based on these photos, I do not see reason for any of above surgeries; unless you want to lower your high hairline? Foulness of lateral portion of upper eyelids is sign of youth. Shaping of brows by a make up artist and appropriate make up would be my suggestion. Good luck.

There laser is a gimmick that is implied to be better for surgery than a scalpel but it is not true. The laser is actually a very crude cutting instrument that burns the skin and interferes with its ability to heal. The skin does not heal rapidly after being cut by a laser and stitches need to...

Hi @Calm7233! Dermal fillers would be a great option. You can also consider microneedling and chemical peels. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!
