Can Inferior Orbital Box Osteotomies Be Done To Decrease Interpupillary Distance?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Hi!! I just heard that dr barry eppley had done inferior orbital box osteotomy, which is less riskier than 360 degree OBO. Actually i just wanna reduce my IPD as a woman. Can this technique reduce my IPD by upto 5 mm. Also can Dr. Eppley perform it?

A:Inferior box osteotomies can be effective for modest IPD increases but not for IPD decreases.
