Firstly, i DO NOT have graves disease (that's been completely ruled out, these eyes are hereditary). Other than orbital decompression, is there a way to make my eyes look less bulgy? I've heard of things like fillers and lower eyelid retraction, would these work? To what extent will those two work; or will orbital decompression be better?
Answer: Bulging Eyes I would consider a small surgery where I release the lower eyelid retractors. This allows the eyelid to naturally elevate. The release is done from a small incision on the inside of the eyelid. What this does is it creates more a space between the muscles and their attachments. I have seen this work beautifully in many young patients. You could expect about 2mm of lift. This would be enough to make the eyes look less buldging.

Answer: Bulgy eyes You have genetically big appearing eyes. The lack of volume in the lower lid accentuates this appearance. If you use some filler here you should notice an improvement. It will decrease the dark circles and help to move the lower lid up so you don't see as much white under the eye. The HA fillers such as Belotero or restylane would be good for this. If you like how it looks, you could then do fat. The more permanent solution is an orbital decompression.

Answer: Combination of orbital decompression and filling around the eyes to improve inherited bulgy eyes Combination of orbital decompression and filling around the eyes (either with fat or fillers) will give the best result. That doesn't mean that doing only one of the procedures above won't be beneficial, just less so.

Answer: Fixing bulgy eyes If you know for sure that Grave's disease is not the cause, then the best option is to add volume to fill in the areas around the eyes. This is frequently done to treat signs of aging and options that can be used include fillers (such as Restylane, Juvederm, or Belotero), fat (harvested from your abdomen or thighs and then placed around the eyes), or surgical options to reposition the tissue around the eyes. Each option has its pros and cons and what is the best options depends on the individual patient.Good luck!

Answer: Bulging eyes The photgraph you show here appears more as periorbital hollowing than exophthalmos. Fat micrografting to the upper and lower orbital bone rims will help considerably in my opinion. While off the shelf fillers may work this is an off-label use and the results are somewhat unpredictable. A thorough facial analysis by a board certified plastic surgeon is in order.
