Attatched are images of my awful eye area. I believe its my biggest failo and holding me back the most, would like to get it at least average.

from images they seem assymetrical but this is not a bone issue/skeletal issue as confirmed by scans and talking with surgeons.

- im considering saddled infra + supras with pags, and then potentially fat grafts after.

is the supra necessary? are implants even worth it for my case and should i just do a cantho? will a fat graft solve all? or should i say fuck it and do all 3 and hope it wont look uncanny.

i recently had an open rhino and weirdly the swelling around my eyes made them look soooo much better for a week or so:

potentially just looking to have em look average/not a failo, looking for some real advice please gang. none of that doomer shit. thank you.

get orbital decompression surgery for protruding eyes, (your eyes probably looked better while your face was swelling because it made them look more deepset) then get upper blepharoplasty which can help with canthal tilt
 
id like to avoid OD as i dont wanna risk my IPD getting fucked. Any chance periorbital implants give the same effect of having them portrude less?

See this thread. There's 3 examples, all different surgery combinations and their outcomes. Combination 1 would work well in your case and its what I'd recommend to you myself, just minus implants.

People don't realize how much of a crazy difference lateral temporal lift + LLR makes to the eye area, paired with periorbital fat grafting, its the best way for someone to ascend their eye area (unless they have syndrome level bone support).

Don't touch orbital decompression.

any surgeon recomendations for those procedures>
 
Canthopexy and at the same time fat grafting.

I don't like recommending surgeons unless I've personally consulted with them. I've done a few Turkish surgeons but I'd avoid them all. I'd also stay clear of the american surgeons you see mentioned on here a lot, Taban especially. Dr. Bernardini is the only one I'd comfortably recommend, unless anyone has any others I'm not aware of?
 
Send the 30k to me for bimax

Yeah he has the tell tale "downgrown" face eyes, its just that implants don't usually fix it, in this guys case tho I'd actually recommend saddled infras before any soft tissue work, with malar extension too.

ok perfect, ive already essentially consulted pags on this. Is it worth bothering with the supra implant tho?

Wow, didn't know Taban had a .org account. whatever you do don't get OD, it's a shit surgery that will leave you will a smaller PFL, closer set eyes and a high likely hood of having serious complications prompting you to have go through the 7 layers of hell just to get your normal eye sight/aesthetics back. Take a look at Frank Tufano if you want an example of what could happen.

Your problem, and the problem for 99% of people with bulging eyes is that there is a lack of bone and fat around your eyes, not that they're too forward set. Even kids with crouzons don't usually get OD, they usually get higher level leforts or monobloc to correct this issue. For you implants would likely be the best option for you. I'd say infras mostly, your supras, although not good, aren't death tier.

i agree with you bro, with that being said, is the supra implant worth bothering with then? or should i leave filling that in to the fat graft?

idk man, it's up to you to weigh the pros and cons. supras are generally riskier than infras. if i we're you i'd just do fat grafts. ask @chrishell

You have a clear negative orbital vector- you should get saddled infraorbital rim-malar implants. As for the other surgeries, I would wait tbh. It will cost you more to do things individually, but it's hard to say how the infra will impact you. Many times people need revisions bc the implant is either too big or doesn't make a noticeable difference (this is the case even with Pags where I think he went too conservative at times bc the patient really didn't want something oversized). Besides you'll use half your budget on the implants as it stands if you went with pags and possibly more than half if you don't live in Italy. If you need revision or the implants get inflected then you want to have backup money to immediately resolve that issue. I think getting some kind of eyelid surgery could also be useful and perhaps an endo browlift too, but the picture you've taken is so close up that it's hard to say what your true canthal tilt is ( I think you may be looking up slightly).

Also please don't listen to dumbass comments about orbital decompression- it's a very high risk surgery and majority of the time the eyes don't look deep-set for people because their surrounding bones lack saggital growth ( are not forward grown enough) or a lack of fat around the eyes. Decompression is meant for thyroid eye disease where there is pressure and inflammation behind the eye due to an autoimmune cause.

thanks for the response! yes i think the plan for now is to get the infra-malars with pags and see where to go from there. The big question on my mind is if i should bother with getting supras at the same time, what do you think?
