I am not aware of a surgery. I am unsure that there is a procedure that would actually change the distance between your eyes. I don't see how that would really work. The best solution that I have for you is to go to a dept store or find a good makeup consultant that can make your eyes appear larger and give the impression that they are further apart.
Here are some make-up and beauty tips to create the appearance of larger eyes.
On the inside corners of the eyes and along side of the nose, apply a light highlight to widen the eyes. On the lower inner rim of the eye, apply a white pencil to make the eyes appear more open. On the outer corner, use a deep, intense shade, extending the colour past the corner of the eye.
Tweeze the brows slightly farther apart than the inside corner of the eye. Extend brows slightly past the outer corner.
I have also heard of using Restylane injections under the eyes to create a softer look with a less hollow appearance.
Good luck.
try pushing your eyes further apart from eachother with your fingers with a lot of pressure. works for me. I increased the space between my eyes 3 centimeters.
thats disgusting, its just pushing ur eyeballs apart!!! ewww ur gonna hav sum pretty messed up eyes some day. i think id rather jus live with close set eyes thank u very much
I don't understand how putting pressure on your eyes made them farther apart. How exactly did you do it?
It's called sarcasm.
I have close-set eyes. I've been looking for ways to correct this for so very long. . . there just doesn't seem to be a lot of information on the subject.
I don't want some flimsy makeup solution to the problem. I want a real, physical correction for what's been holding me back from having a good self-image. I'm even willing to undergo surgery.
If anyone comes across any answers, please share with the rest of us.
Is there a plastic surgery for close set eyes?accentaesthetic-6/19/2007
Yes, there is, but it is a big deal. Craniofacial surgery to reposition the boney orbits is performed in children with skull abnormalities. In an adult, it may be possible to alter the soft tissues about the eyes to reduce the appearance of close set eyes. A direct examination would be the best option of determining what can be done. Call 650-961-2652 for a confidential, one-on-one consultation with Dr. Rosenberg, a leading and highly respected cosmetic surgeon serving plastic surgery patients in the San Francisco, Palo Alto, Mountain View, and San Jose California areas.
If your eyes work well, it may be better just to leave them be.
Hi guys,
Please, tell me
information,that is most popular about anything,but only legal and not adult.
Thanks for the info.
What is so wrong with having close set eyes? Are wide set eyes supposed to be better or something, I don't understand.
