Grave’s disease can cause a wide range of symptoms, including cosmetic concerns with the eye area. This is why Chicago Oculofacial Consultants is proud to offer our patients the option for personalized Grave’s disease treatment in Chicago through lid retraction surgery.
Grave’s disease is an autoimmune disorder in which the body produces too much of a particular thyroid hormone. This condition can cause swelling of the tissue surrounding the eyes, as well as bulging, protruding eyes and eyelids. Grave’s disease can also present patients with symptoms that include double vision, muscle weakness, fatigue, weight loss, heat intolerance, and more. This disease can affect people of all ages, but it is most common in females between 20 to 40 years old. While an eyelid surgeon cannot cure the condition itself, we can still provide treatment that restores your eye area, reducing any bulging of the eyelids and keeping your beauty intact.
Grave’s disease is typically treated with medications that reduce the production of thyroid hormones. However, symtoms of Grave’s disease that relate to your eyelids may require surgery in order to restore the area and prevent any further damage. At Chicago Oculofacial Consultants, we understand Grave’s disease can be a difficult condition to deal with, and our experienced eyelid surgeons are here to help you stay looking your best.
