When it comes to eyelid surgery and decompression, it’s important for a surgeon to look at your entire face - not just your eyeballs or your eyelids. Photos are a great tool when trying to restore your appearance, and often, I’m able to do all your surgeries in one sitting. But above all, it’s always a customized approach that’s undertaken with a lot of care and planning.

Orbital radiotherapy is an older treatment that was previously used to treat Thyroid Eye Disease, but it’s got a fairly concerning history. Today, more researched and more effective treatment options are generally recommended, so it’s important to seek advice on treatment from a TED specialist, experienced with the very latest medical science.

Dark circles under the eyes are one of those things we all notice, but what are they really telling us?

While dark circles are mostly cosmetic and common, thyroid conditions (like an underactive thyroid or thyroid eye disease) can contribute by causing puffiness, thinner skin, or fluid retention around the eyes. But they’re only one piece of the puzzle.

To find out more about dark circles and how they might be related to your thyroid health, read the full article in our Blog on our website at raymonddouglasmd.com/blog

Can TED surgeries go too far? Yes, it is possible for a surgical procedure to overcorrect TED. When a decompression is overdone, it can result in a “sunken” appearance of the eye. I take the time to make precise measurements during surgery to ensure that the end result is a natural and balanced appearance, similar to the appearance prior to TED

This patient struggled with prominent eyes, redness, and discomfort, and had previously tried facial filler with little benefit. Instead of adding volume, we treated the underlying cause with orbital decompression and lower eyelid tightening. The result was a 4mm reduction in eye bulging, improved comfort, and a more natural, rested appearance. Subtle, balanced, all through a customized approach.

Can Botox and fillers help with appearance after Tepezza?

Botox can often help soften lines and improve symmetry around the eyes. Filler can sometimes be helpful too - but under-eye filler in particular needs to be approached with caution and expert assessment.

Surgery vs Tepezza - how do I know which is the right option?
When it comes to being treated for Thyroid Eye Disease, we have three options: to monitor the disease’s progression particularly if it’s in the very early stages, treat with Tepezza, or undergo surgery. Regardless of which option we choose - and that may be a combination of two of the aforementioned - it’s important to understand that your treatment needs to be a customized approach. There’s no one size fits all solution when it comes to treating TED, so we need to develop an approach that addresses your specific individual condition.

Can I still get a decompression if I’m experiencing inflammation? In most cases, surgery should wait until inflammation has settled. This may mean allowing time for the disease to quiet down or using treatment like Tepezza. Reducing inflammation leads to safer surgery and better outcomes.

How often should you have an eye exam? Your eyes can tell us more than you think, and Thyroid Eye Disease can start quietly, but the damage can become serious if it’s missed.

Regular eye exams help us:
- Catch changes early
- Protect your vision
- Reduce discomfort and irritation
- Prevent long-term complications

If you have a thyroid condition and notice changes like dryness, pressure, double vision, or eye bulging - don’t wait. Early care can make a real difference.

Will Thyroid Eye Disease ever go away on its own?

If symptoms are mild, flare-ups can come and go over time, but when TED is more severe, it rarely just disappears without treatment. The goal of treatment isn’t just symptom relief - it’s to bring the disease into a stable, non-progressive phase.
