Will an eye that has suffered an Orbital Blowout return to normal position on it's own?

Perfectionist1544
I haven't been to the doctor yet, but I am certain that I have an orbital blowout due to being punched in the eye. My eye swelled and was black for a week, I put ice on it the first 48, and followed with moist heat and took tylenol as directed. It's been about a month, and my eye is still set back, it looks "smaller" than my other. I am going to the doctor, but will this fix itself, or will I have to have surgery.. Or worse, is it too late and I will be stuck like this?
