Eye aesthetics are a group of surgical procedures aimed at restoring the natural shape of the eye as possible.

The methods of treating exophthalmos are divided into two types, the surgical treatment of cosmetic surgery for protruding eyes, and non-surgical options, which are correcting the hormone level, health habits, and radiation. Let’s start first with non-surgical methods, and then we delve into all the details about cosmetic surgery for eyes.

Beautify protruding eyes without surgery

The first method is to correct the main cause of the problem, which is the high level of the hormone thyroxine, to see together how we can overcome this problem.

    The first method: medications

After making sure that you are really suffering from this disease through tests and x-rays, your doctor prescribes some medications that suppress the thyroid gland, thus allowing control of the excess secretion of the hormone.  The disadvantage of this method is that it is not sure to help beautify protruding eyes.

In advanced cases, the doctor may have to use corticosteroids, by direct injection into a vein – this reduces the side effects of corticosteroids – and this continues for about 10-12 weeks after which you start to feel better.

    The second way: follow some healthy habits

    The third method: radiotherapy – cosmetic surgery for protruding eyes with radiation

•    The dormant phase: it follows the active phase, and here the eye has subsided, the symptoms of inflammation began to fade and the eye protrudes outward.

Dr. Hantereh sometimes resorts to this method during the active phase of this disease, especially when cortisone therapy has not been successful, and sometimes the two methods can be combined together.

Hyperthyroidism occurs when it is enlarged. High-energy X-rays are used to break up these enlarged cells, return them to normal, and you will need to undergo approximately 10 sessions in order to get a satisfactory result.

Surgical method – plastic surgery for the eyes

Surgical ophthalmoplasty is a strongly proposed option in more complex cases, especially when you continue to suffer from other symptoms, for example, the doctor resorts to surgical ophthalmoplasty when the dormant phase continues for several months;  Drug treatment alone will not be sufficient in this case.

Dr. Hanatera resort to cosmetic surgery of the protruding eyes also in the event that there is a real threat to vision during the active phase of the disease.

Plastic surgery for protruding eyes includes several types:

•    Eyelid surgery: It is a surgical procedure performed on the upper or lower eyelid or both, and it helps improve the appearance of the eye and the surrounding area.

•    Eye muscle surgery: In which the muscles around the eye move to adjust their position

•    The socket decompression process: here the doctor gets rid of the bones and fat in the socket, and the most popular case for resorting to the socket decompression process is the beautification of protruding eyes.
