Lower Blepharoplasty with Slightly Protruding Eyeball, How Can I Avoid Potential Complications?

BGinVA
I had my 2nd consultation for a lower bleph today, and like that the new PS mentioned something that the other one didn't. He stated that my eyeball protrudes slightly more than my lower eyelid, making the surgery a little more complicated (I'm sure he's right as my dad and sister had this same issue). What precautions should be taken to avoid complications with this issue? He mentioned one, but I wanted to see if there were any other or differening opinons. Thanks in advance.
