Orbital decompression on 21 August - please share your experiences
Hi everyone, I’ve been offered orbital decompression surgery on 21 August, so I don’t have much time to decide and I’m feeling really anxious.
I have mild TED and graves, but it still affects my appearance and self-esteem quite a lot. I’m considering surgery because of this, but I’m honestly terrified of having a bad outcome or being “botched”.
I’d really appreciate hearing both good and bad experiences with orbital decompression.
Were you happy with your results? Did it improve your appearance? Did you have any complications or things you weren’t expecting? And knowing what you know now, would you still have the surgery?
I’d especially love to hear from anyone who had mild TED and chose to have decompression.
My surgery date is coming up very quickly, so any honest experiences or advice would mean a lot. ❤️
