Am I a candidate for an orbital rim burring? (Photos)

Question

I recently visited a prominent Beverly Hills surgeon and he says an endoscopic brow lift and burring of my orbital rim under my eye brows will give my eyes a further apart more beautiful look... so you talented doctors think it will make a good difference?

Toby Mayer, MD · Answer

Orbital bone reduction and endoscopic forehead surgery? NO! Your forehead is high and it will get higher unless it is done using the Irregular Trichophytic Incision. Also your brow bone is normal for a female.

Jeffrey Jumaily, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question and photos. The distance between your eyes are within normal and there is nothing you can do to increase the distance. You have beautiful eyes and normal upper eyelid fullness which is very youthful. If you don't like the forehead, it can be shortened with a conservative browlift. Of course a consultation is very helpful to find out your goals and see you in person. Best wishes.

This may be more of a Boston rather than Beverly Hills response but I would probably tell you to do nothing. You have beautiful eyes as is Burring of the bone can reduce the orbital rim but yours is normal and this does not accomplish what you want anyway which is widening of the eyes. If anything a slight lowering of the hairline with an excisional forehead lift and perhaps a small reduction of the skin of the upper eyelids would be a reasonable approach if you really want to procede. Good luck!

Richard W. Fleming, MD (retired) · Answer

In these pictures I don't see ay fullness of the orbital rim contour but a lateral vie would be helpful. I would not do an endoscopic brow lift on you because you will raise your high hairline further. I recommend you consider the Irregular Trichophytjc Hairline Incision technique so you can maintain or lower your hairline.
