Can a rhinoplasty make eyes closer set? (photos)

December 27, 2013
Asked By:Lpickb in Los Angeles, CA

I am considering plastics surgery but I can't decide between a rhinoplasty, or Blepharoplasty. If I get a rhinoplasty can the nose be refined to make eyes look closer together? Or is that only with eye surgery. I am aware I have a long nose, bulbous tip, and a lower bridge near my eyes. But also my eyes are just a little to wide set, which I think is the main imbalance in my face. What is the best surgery to achieve optimal balance in my face? (I am half Korean, half Caucasian 23 year old living in sf)
