Would orbital decompression be suitable for my hereditary bulging eyes? (Photo)

Polite337602Oct 8, 2020
I do not like the appearance of my bulging eyes. From the profile view, I am unable to see my nose bridge. Would orbital decompression be surgery be able to push my eyes back so that a very good amount of my nose bridge is visible? What sort of costs and complications can I expect from this surgery and would it be worth undergoing considering it is cosmetic? Also if I plan on having rhinoplasty, how much time must be had between surgeries? And what would be best to get rid of dark circles?
