Cab My Vertical Orbital Dystopia (Ete Asymmetry) Be Improved?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Is eye asymmetry surgery worth pursuing? Am I likely to see worthwhile improvements from it? I was also wondering whether you think it could be one of those surgeries that will improve in the relative near future? What I mean by that is perhaps technological improvements like custom implants or things that can make the surgery more precise and effective? Is that far away? 

I really, really appreciate this because nobody has given me this level of insight yet.

A:This is exactly how I do the surgery. Custom implants is a foundational basis for VOD surgery based on the patients 3D CT scan.

To understand contemporary VOD surgery concepts you need to go ti www.exploreplasticsurgery.com and search under Vertical Orbital Dystopia and read all about the surgery.

In terms of surgical outcome can you improve vertical orbital dystopia and lessen the asymmetry between the two eyes… absolutely. But can you make teh eyes so symmetric that the VOD is essentially undetectable or nonexistent and that answer would be no. Like all asymmetry surgeries it’s about improvement not absolutely the attainment of a perfectly symmetric outcome. There are just some differences between the two sides that can never be surgically eliminated.
