Can Close Set Eyes and a Flat MIdface Be Corrected in the Same Surgery?

Q: Dr. Eppley, My primary concerns are close set eyes and flat midface. Is there a single surgery that can address both simultaneously or is it better to have two separate surgeries?

A:Potentially inferior orbital box osteotomies and a custom-made midface mask implant could be done at the same time. However depending upon the location of the bone cuts and the implant ’s footprint coverage this may or may not be advised. This is going to require a more comprehensive evaluation to make that determination which includes a 3-D CT scan and pictures of your face.
