Is there a way to move my eye position? (Photo)

Question

Hello, I am wondering if there is any procedure to change the position of the eyeball? I would like my eyes to increase maybe 8mm in interpupillary distance and perhaps 5mm lower from the eyebrow. I really like the shape of my eyes regarding eyelids so I wish to preserve this feature. There is nothing particularly wrong with my eyes, just that a procedure like this would really improve my overall facial harmon.

Let's be honest. You are basically perfect. That means making an improvement here will be challenging. Orbital are moved in cases of severe craniofaical abnormalities. In those cases the disfigurement is so severe that improvement achieved surgically makes a beneficial difference. In your case, it is impossible for surgery to make a beneficial difference. For that reason, the answer is that it will not be helpful to have surgery that might alter the position of the eyes relative to each other. Knock on enough doors in this world and someone might offer to attempt what you are thinking about. It will not end well. Please be careful what you look for.

Everybody's eyeballs sit in a pocket of bone. The brain is above, and the maxillary sinuses are below. Unfortunately, there is no way to reposition somebody's eyeballs and eyelids. Thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph
