I'm 27, male, and healthy. I don't have Graves' disease or any thyroid problems. This is just the way my face looks. My eyes are naturally prominent (scleral show, negative orbital vector, and upper eyelid exposure yippee!). The discoloration around them is also genetic. What is the best treatment for this? I'm doubtful fillers would be sufficient. I had a doctor recommend orbital decompression, but that seems like a bad idea to me because I'd be moving my already deficient orbital further backwards.

Answer: How to reduce the appearance of inherited prominent eyes ?
Based on your photos it looks like the main problem is hollowing in the area of the tear trough and upper cheeks. I think you could benefit from filler injections in this area. The goal is to blend the eyelid-cheek junction, which should lead to a more youthful, less-tired appearance.
Thank you for your question and photo. It seems like you are recovering normally. The bump can be caused by a buried suture or swelling of the tissues. It is possible to make it flat by making the incision longer but it may not be worth it. This type of issue usually resolves on its...
It appears your left upper eyelid is slightly drooping. This is called ptosis, but it appears very mild and unless it worsens I wouldn't pursue any intervention unless you are having any other issues like double-vision, eye pain etc.
