orbital decompression

HI,
I live in Hawaii and had Graves' disease a number of years ago.  I opted for fat removal and lid retraction.  My eyes were greatly improved.  I never got the orbital decompression.  However, my left eye protrudes more than my right and despite the fact that I have had a series of operations, the left eye keeps opening more than the right as it protrudes more.  I am considering orbital decompression.  Does anyone know any good doctors in Hawaii and has anyone had a blepharoplasty and lid retraction prior to orbital decompression?  
Thanks!
