After orbital decompression surgery, my right eye has sunken downward in sinus. Does orbital implant surgery work in this case?

Question

I had 3 wall orbital decompression surgery on my right eye over 3 months ago. My eye has set back totally, but it has sunken downward to sinus. Is it possible to fix the position of the orbit with an Orbital Implant surgery? What ate the risks?

it appears that you have eyelid retraction along with orbital proptosis from your primary picture. I am not sure if your right orbit has displaced downward or still this is the Right Upper Lid retraction that gives the impression of orbit disposition. You need to have a complete examination of your eye to determine this.

A sunken eye in the sinus after orbital decompression, can be corrected with orbital implant.  You need an experienced oculoplastic surgeon for this procedure.  In your photo, you have a very strong upper eyelid retraction that can also be corrected.  Good luck !
