Hi guys, I have a problem — my eyes are bulging. I have 20 mm of exophthalmos and I'm planning to have it corrected surgically. I have two options: lateral orbital decompression, which could reduce my exophthalmos by up to 4 mm, or a Le Fort II or III surgery. The latter does carry more risks, but it could allow for a greater reduction.The reason I’m only considering decompression of the lateral wall (and not other orbital walls) is because it would otherwise have too much impact on the aesthetic proportions of my face — especially the ESR and midface ratios, which are ideal in my case.
My question is: what range of exophthalmos is considered aesthetically pleasing? I’d like to know how much reduction I should aim for in order to decide which procedure is best. Thanks in advance!
Édit: i know it highly dépends of the bone i want to have implant (supra drowp down and saddeled infra) but Even with good bone if my exophtalmie is too high it will look so ugly
