Orbital Bone Fracture?

I got a orbital bone fracture 4 years ago and have still been getting surgeries. I had notice after my one surgery that my eyeball dropped and was way lower than my other one. My surgeon the went back into my eye to put a extra implant to try and push it up and its still way lower than the other one, but also you can see the implant poking from my lower eylid with pain. he then went back in to shave it . It still didn't make a difference and then tried to shave it again .can I make it normal again
