21yofemale smoker w/ graves: what r the risks/statistics of getting graves ophthalmopathy after thyroidectomy? not currently showing any symptoms yet)

Prioritize risk: Hi. I hate to state the obvious, but you're a smoker asking about the wrong risk. Graves' ophthalmopathy is very uncommon after Graves', uncomplicated by ophthalmopathy, is treated. Would you like yo know more about your SERIOUS risk??? Look no further than your cigarets. Prioritize your risk. Good luck!
