Abstract: The article discusses the use of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers as a non-surgical option for treating thyroid eye disease (TED), a condition associated with Graves' disease. The case study presented a 42-year-old woman with TED who underwent HA filler treatment, resulting in significant improvement in both aesthetic and functional aspects. The study highlights the effectiveness and safety of nonsurgical interventions like HA fillers for patients who are not suitable for or prefer to avoid surgery, emphasizing the importance of timing treatments after inflammation has subsided to prevent complications. Larger studies are needed to confirm the findings and establish standardized treatment protocols.
