I wanted to post some pictures but I'm waiting for my lower eyes to heal. If you want some pictures of me post op feel free to PM me, but I will be making another post later.
Lower eyelid retraction repair surgery was essentially a canthoplasty + alloderm spacer graft for me. I believe it came out to around 6k with anesthesia, facility/graft fees. It was a bit cheaper than someone else from here because I did not need ptosis repair, my eye tilt was positive so did not need canthopexy (which is harder to do than canthoplasty).
I did not get orbital decompression like the user Titbot despite having mildly prominent eyes so I won't know anything about that. Many popular eye surgeons, such as Taban, make it seem like orbital decompression is a requirement when in my opinion, it's just a costly procedure with minor benefits unless you have Grave's disease.
I've researched this procedure a lot and now had experience with getting it, so if you have any questions about the surgery in general or the surgeon, feel free to ask them here.
