orbital decompression surgery

Hi there:  My husband has Graves and is schedualed for orital decompression surgery on both eyes Sept 10th.  Was just wondering what to expect for the first couple of weeks of his recovery.  We live 500 km away from the hospital so we are flying home four days after the surgery what can I do to make this more comfortable for him.

Thanks

Does anyone have a recommendation for an oculoplastic surgeon specializing in Graves Eye Disease in Los Angeles, CA?   I'm looking for a solid doctor who I can see regarding pursuing orbital decompression surgery...

I am 16 years of age & just had orbital decompression on thursday. Does anyone know how long the numbness in the face lasts for?

3 to 6 months usually. Ask your surgeon also. Good luck.
