There is no surgery other than craniofacial surgery to make the eyes look father apart. The distance between my eyes is 2.5 cm, I would like it to be about 3 cm.
Answer: Widening the eye distance It's not practical to move the eye socket around, but frequently the nasal bridge height can greatly affect the apparent distance between the eyes. A high bridge will make the eyes look closer together; a lower bridge can make the eyes look further apart. A front and side view of your face would help better assess your options.

Answer: Craniofacial surgery Hello and thank you for your question. Only craniofacial surgery can move the eye sockets and adjust the distance between the eyes, but this surgery is not usually performed for cosmetic reasons. However, there are two cosmetic procedures can give the appearance of more space between the eyes. A rhinoplasty procedure which reduces the nose bridge between the eyes can make the eyes seem farther apart without changing the distance between the eyes. Additionally, a canthoplasty can also alter the shape of the eye to give the appearance of a wider space between the eyes. Discuss your goals with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon during an in-person consultation to determine your best course of treatment. Good luck!

Answer: Making eyes look farther apart Moving the actual eye sockets within the skull bone is rather difficult, and not done for cosmetic reasons, since it carries too many risks. There are however procedures such as canthoplasty to make the eyes appear wider. Without an exam, it will not be possible to fully evaluate you and give you recommendations. Be sure to discuss your goals and concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon and consider the pros and the cons. Be certain your surgeon is properly certified. I've attached a link where you can start your search.

Answer: Balanced aesthetics within the normal range Your 'distance between the eyes' is probably what we would call the intercanthal distance - straight line between the inner corners of the two eyes. At 25mm, this would be within the normal range! Increasing this to 30mm would tend towards distances seen in some craniofacial syndromes...

Answer: Distance between eyes It is considered normal to have distance between two eyes equal to the width of the eye. In severe cases only extensive craniofacial procedure can address interorbital width. However, there are some ways of visually correcting that deformity (if present). In person evaluation and discussion about your expectations and options is recommended. Good luck.
