Answer: There may be some other options besides decompression Dear Kamikase, I certainly see why you are concerned. Orbital decompression is certainly considered in cases other than thyroid eye disease for patients that have truly buldgy eyes (proptosis) However, you also have significant lower lid retraction, that is we can see the white sclera under the colored part of your eye. This is not normal and can make the eye look even bigger. One consideration would be to have this retraction addressed and repaired, which will make the eye look much smaller and be a far less aggressive approach. Never-the-less I would DEFINITELY recommend you see an oculoplastic and orbital surgeon for an in-person consultation and examination to discuss all the options and what the best approach might be. Good luck.

Answer: Orbital decompression you need to start from ground zero with an opthalmic plastic surgeon. these opthmologists have special and training and expertise in dealing with issues such as you have. standard eyelid surgery is not the answer. the negative vector pulling your lower lids down needs to be addressed. general plastic surgeons are usually not as experienced in dealing with these highly complex eyelid issues. I do not think orbital decompression will be reccommended.
