So, I just recently had a consult with an eye expert; he's one of the best in the U.S. but I won't mention his name for privacy reasons. He recommended Ptosis Surgery (as expected) but also had told me something very interesting.
He said that my eyes were sunken back, and that he could do Bilateral Orbital Implants to bring them forward. They would be placed on the Orbital Floor. (as this is the only safe location to place the implants)
He said in my case, he'd bring my eyes forward about (3 to 5mm). Usually this is done on patients for Orbital Blow-Out Fracture Surgery And Enophthalmos (Sunken Eyes). But he said he's done it on Non Fracture Patients, but it's something he obviously doesn't like to advertise.
He can't show me any before/afters, and he doesn't have the software to show me any kind of morph.
I had a followup appointment, and he said that it's not something I have to do, and that he thinks he may want to try and talk me out of doing it now. Any thoughts on this?
The procedure is reversible is what he said, but its difficult to begin to consider when you aren't even sure how you would look post op.
