Would Orbital Decompression be optimal in my case of bulging eyes? (Photo)

Yes orbital decompression can be done for bulging eyes not related to thyroid eye disease. Technique is very important and scarless is desired. There are risks and limitations that need to be considered. See an expert.

Hello,First off, more than a TSH is typically checked when evaluating for/working-up Graves' disease/Thyroid Eye Disease (TED); such as other labs, imaging studies, etc. So make sure you get the right evaluation. Now, moving on from that, in a patient who doesn't have Graves' disease/TED, bulging eyes can be seen in patients for example with large eye morphology, a negative vector (flat maxilla/cheek bone), etc. And cosmetic orbital decompression can be performed in patients who want to have a less bulgy appearance.But, there are also other ways to help. For example, an orbital rim implant can help reduce the appearance of the negative vector. Fillers may also help achieve this same goal.
