Any advice on eye surgery after Thyroid Eye Disease?

I don't think I necessarily need orbital decompression but could have the choice of eyelid surgery and removal of fatty tissue above the eyes. I know I'll get good advice from the surgeons but anyone who has had it done, for medical or purely cosmetic reasons, got any views on this?

The orbital decompression is now done by ENT doctors. They open the maxillary sinus, remove its roof, take out fat from orbit.
