Asked By:pcanada2000

Hi, I have inherited protruding eyes & it is severely effecting my life,greatly lowering my self esteem and self confidence and putting me into depression. I was wondering if it is possible to get orbital decompression for cosmetic reasons or if there is such a thing as cosmetic orbital decompression.What are the risks with today's technology? also is there any other method to fix my problem? and how long is the operation per eye? Thanks in advance.
