How Can My Vertical Orbital Dystopia Be Corrected?

Q: Dr. Eppley, https://exploreplasticsurgery.com/case-study-correction-of-eyeorbital-asymmetry-with-hydroxyapatite-cement/ Hello, I found you through this article. The man in your post is experiencing the same problem with my eyes. I live in Türkiye, and I don’t know if there are any doctors specializing in this. If I were to come to you for an examination and surgery, could I inquire about the average cost for the same or similar procedure?

It’s visible in the photo I sent you. I think it’s called Orbital Dystopia. I’m curious about what can be done and how much it costs.

A:VOD improvement rarely comes from a single procedure such as orbital floor augmentation regardless of the material used to do it. It usually requires a combination of bone augmentation and management of the upper and lower eyelids as well as the eyebrow that drapes around the lwoer eyeball and orbital socket. All structures have to be addressed for a satisfactory improvement. It usually takes a combination of five individual procedures done doing a single surgery which include orbital floor– rim implant augmentation, endoscopic brow lift, lower eyelid elevation with spacer grafts, lateral canthoplasty and upper eyelid elevation.
