Can lower blepharoplasty cause enophthalmos & can they keep sinking further in?

November 13, 2023
Asked By:TNGA in Nashville, Tennessee

I had a bleph 3 years ago and I was pretty satisfied with the results. Over the past 6 months, my eyes have rapidly sunk into my eye socket. I had them measured last week with an exophthalmometer and they measure 11. I have no before measurements but I know my face I can feel the significant shift. Could the removal of fat from the bleph cause this? Can they keep sinking further in? Can the eyeballs compress the optic nerve being so far back? Can exophthalmos cause vision loss?
