I have slightly bulging eyes, inherited from my dad (i got my thyroid checked and its really inherited) and i was wondering what would correct it the most, between orbital decompression, or brow bone implant&orbital rim implant&malar implant ? Or maybe both procedures ? I asked to see an ophtalmologist (excuse my french) but the doctor said i couldnt have an appointment with him for aesthetic reasons (only health problems) so what surgery should i get ? Thank you so much for answering this !!
