Is there any surgery to make eyes further apart?

Jennifer37714Nov 14, 2013

I do not have close-set eyes, however, I find wide-set eyes and a large distance between the eyes to be attractive. Or maybe the issue is that I have too much "face" outside of my eyes, making them appear closer.

Chemosis occurs not infrequently after lower lid blepharoplasty. It can be exacerbated if your eye is not well-lubricated. Contact your surgeon's office, as he/she may want to start treatment with steroid eye drops and/or oral steroids, or other treatments (taping, temporary tarsorrhaphy, etc).
