What can be done about close-set eyes?

June 4, 2019
Asked By:CcSirie in Los Angeles, CA

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
