How realistic is it to pursue eye socket reconstruction in cases of non-trauma?

May 6, 2022
Asked By:Awesome990 in Woodbridge, Virginia

In other words, presumably cosmetic. I believe I am suffering from enophthalmos due to congenital abnormalities of my eyes. They have slowly sunken deeper since I was 20 years old and at 27, I look like a completely different person. My eyes are small and sunken. Do the benefits outweigh the risks of me pursuing some kind of surgery to bring my eyes forward again? Thank you.
