Is there a way to make deep set eyes more prominent?

Question

I absolutely hate my very deep set eyes! My eyes are overshadowed by my browbones and the upper lids are small and hollow. I would do anything to get more prominent eyes and bigger, fuller upper eye lids! Is there some way to actually MAKE the eyes more prominent and NOT just make them appear that way? Because I feel like they really are naturally TOO deep set.

Thank you for sharing your question. Sorry to hear how bothered you are about your eyes. Please post photographs so you can be evaluated. Perhaps dermal fillers could be used to improve the hollowing. Good luck.

Hi FlowerPower!It is hard to answer your question without a photo, but it sounds like you might have a combination of eyebrow ptosis and deep set eyes. Typically, there isn't much you can do if your eyes are deep set. But, some problems might make your eyes just look deep set - ie, people with ptosis from levator dehiscence will have hollow upper eyelids. I'd consider posting a picture of your eyes and eyebrows to get a little more help online. Have a great day!

It is difficult to assess your situation without photographs. You would benefit from an in person consultation with a board certified surgeon with expertise in eyelid surgery.
