I am concerned about my close-set eyes and I am interested in surgery to increase the distance between my eyes. Is it possible to do this surgery for cosmetic purposes?
Answer: Eyelid Surgery Hello! Thank you for your question.%100 symmetry is not achievable in any case please keep in mind. However, with the surgeries, the asymmetry can be improved. I can suggest you endoscopic brow lift for more elegant and symmetrical look. Best Regards!

Answer: Need to come in to consult For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Eyes There is no surgery that I would consider safe at all to attempt to achieve what you describe in your question. Increasing the distance between the eyes sometimes occurs in cases of severe facial trauma. There are important attachments for the eyelids (tendons) and for the tear drainage (lacrimal sac) located along the bones between the eyes. These important structures must be respected and avoided, if and when possible.

Answer: Craniofacial orbital surgery To my knowledge, nobody would perform extensive craniofacial procedure needed to change position of orbits, for cosmetic purposes. I think that you have fine orbital symmetry and small discrepancies, if they exist at all, could be corrected with skilfull application of make up. Good luck.

Answer: Craniofacial surgery to move the orbits is not cosmetic and will disfigure you. Your request is understandable. You look at your face and feel that something is amiss. What you have concluded is that your eyes are too close together. While there does exist surgery to change this, it amounts to a radical surgical procedure with a lot of unexpected soft tissue and sinus complications. Blindness is a risk. For this reason, such a radical surgery is reserved for severe craniofacial abnormalities, or severe trauma where left unaddressed the abnormalities would leave someone sufficiently disfigured that interactions with other human beings would be adversely affected. That is not your situation. Also you have other issues that I do think are more significant. You have bilateral central levator disinsertion. You have bilateral compensatory eyebrow elevation with the right eyebrow higher than the other. There is no substitute for a detailed in person assessment. Please be careful what you look for.
