My eyes sit very close together. They start right next to the nose bridge (almost touching the nose bridge) and end far from the temple, making my temples look wide. I’ve heard that rhinoplasty is a common procedure to give an illusion of wider set eyes but in my case I think it will make the eyes look closer. Is there any way to separate the eyes a little farther apart? This issue is making me miserable

Answer: Facial Surgery Questions Dear CcSirie,Thank you for your question. A rhinoplasty that focuses on lowering your nasal bridge will give the illusion of wider set eyes. In craniofacial surgery we do something called box osteotomies to move the eye sockets, but this is an aggressive technique reserved for patients with severe congenital anomalies. Best regards,Nirmal R. Nathan, M.D.

Answer: Setting the eyes further apart You can lower the bridge of the nose between the eyes, which can give the illusion of more distance between the eyes. Conversely, you can make the eyes look closer together by raising the bridge. Also, in some cases, you can transpose a small flap of skin to decrease the exposure of the inner corners of the skin.
