Is there a surgery that would pull my eye socket forward and make my eyes appear less deep?

June 9, 2016
Asked By:claude in Ontario, CA

I want to know if it's possible to move eyesocket forward for someone who has deep eyes. I posted a similar question, but I got mostly response and other solution. What I want to know is not if I need it, I'm gonna see it in time. What I wonder is if it is possible, and how? Thank you
