Is there a way to fix close-set eyes?

Question

Good afternoon, I have a problem that has been tormenting me since I was 14 years old. I consider myself cute but the only problem is that my eyes are together, my eyes are 3 cm and the distance between my two eyes is 2.5cm. Will there be any surgery or surgery to separate my eyes a little? (my nose is thin). Please answered me .

Thank you for sharing your question. The type of procedure you require is extensive and reserved for extreme cases. It is not likely you are a candidate for this type of surgery, but see an experienced Oculoplastic Surgeon who is comfortable handling such situations. Good luck,

Thank you so much for your question.  It is very difficult to answer, however, without examining you and looking at the anatomy of your face.  The shape and relationship of the eyes, forehead, bridge of the nose, and temples all work together to create facial harmony, and often there are things that can be done to make things look more symmetric that may have nothing to do with your eyes.  Ideally, you should see a plastic surgeon that specializes in craniofacial surgery, as they are trained to evaluate and operate on the most complex issues of the bones of the face and skull.

Thank you for your question.  Technically it is possible to modify the bony orbits which contain the eyes this is major craniofacial surgery which carries with it significant risk and possibly scarring, and alteration of the appearance of your face.  Unless there is a good medical reason I would be against such a surgical procedure for cosmetic reasons
