What can I do to fix my bulging eyes? (photo)

November 27, 2019
Asked By:Omar12101

My eyes have been reasonably small all my life but since 2017 my eyes have been bulging and I have had the following symptoms: dry/irritated eyes, scleral show (see pic), pressure sensation behind eyes (stopped 2018), double vision (mornings only). Doctor said my serum TSH levels are normal (1.08miu/L). Been prescribed eye drops for dry eyes however this problem is distressing and people say I look "nervous" "terrified" all the time. What can I do to fix this?

Is there a risk of looking worse after a facelift without addressing the submandibular gland problem?
Ajaya Kashyap, MD says:

Thanks for your question. It is rarely necessary to do a submandibular gland excision with a face lift procedure. There are techniques to tuck in prominent glands using the platysma muscle, while doing a facelift procedure, to reduce the prominence of the gland. You will need an actual physical...
