Hypertelorism correction

Hypertelorism or widely spaced eyes is a feature of multiple craniofacial syndromes. The example shown is a young girl I have treated with Cleidocranial dysostosis. The surgical techniques used are individualized depending on the degree or orbital narrowing required and the proportions of the forehead.
