I was diagnosed with Graves Disease in 1988. Had lid surgery in 1992, but was not offered orbital decompression. Went to a different occuplastic surgeon for a problem with my tear ducts and she asked why I had not had OD. Told her it was never offered to me. Long story short, had my right eye done a week ago and am doing great. Some discomfort, but my eye is already looking normal. I am scheduled to have the left eye done in January. After that will have my right lower lid lifted up just a little. I am healing fine, have taken very little pain medication. To me it has been a blessing!!!! My right tear duct has been repaired (was stopped up), decompression on right eye and fat removal!!!!! Mine was "medical", but of course the result is "cosmetic". Hope this has helped..
