Thank you for your question. It is difficult to properly evaluate your proportion without a full face photo. You do have low set eyebrows, some protruding lower lid fat, and natural eye asymmetries If you do have proptosis, there are many surgical and non-surgical option. See a surgeon who can perform computer imaging. That way you can see what is realistic based upon your anatomy.Best wishes.

There are several way to either make the eyes smaller (orbital decompression) or make them appear smaller (filler or fat injection around eyes, implant under eyes, and/or lower eyelid retraction surgery). See an experienced oculoplastic surgeon for evaluation.

Some people have very prominent eyes. Often
this i caused by a medical condition called graves disease or thyroid
eye disease.  But often it is due to trauma or just being born that
way.  This can be quite concerning fro many people in that it makes them appear
intense or not normal.  Many patients ask if there is anything that
can be done and in the past the answer was not too much at least safely

Now that is untrue. We specialize in
moving the eyes back or improving this bulging appearance for patients . Both surgical and nonsurgical options are available.  This
is specialized surgery that very few doctors would offer but our group has done
thousands of these surgeries and our patients are very happy. In fact most find
it life changing as you can find out from our patients Patients come to us
looking to improve their appearance if their eyes are prominent or their midface is hollow.  Not
everyone has bulging eyes so it is important to customize the process.

You should have an evaluation by a qualified
oculoplastic surgeon for evaluation
