Is there surgical correction for eyes that stick out further than my brow bone? (photos)

Asked By:rhinoplastusrex in New York, NY

I have no thyroid issues, and my eyeS have been like this since birth. I had surgery to correct exotropia in 2013. I plan on getting a blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty, and a lip lift, but in examining my profile (something I don't often do because I think it's quite hideous), I noticed that my eyes are not set behind my eyebrows the way most people have, but they are level or even in front. Is this something that can be corrected? What are the risks associated with it?
