Correction for Adult Mild/moderate Hypertelorism (Wide Set Eyes)? (photo)

Boba155
What can be done about mild/moderate hypertelorism? I always looked a bit "odd" growing up and it now appears to me the root of the problem is how wide set my eyes are. I do understand that I do not have Stage 3 "severe" hypertelorism. I believe I am more Stage 1/2, with an intercanthal distance 130% (36 mm) of my eye width. Would I be a candidate for craniofacial surgery, such as a medial wall subcranial osteotomy? Or could a custom "implant" be fashioned to "push" the eyes closer? Thanks!
