Sunken eye following orbital trauma. Do you think it's plausible to correct at this point? (Photo)

Asked By:vf94 in Austin, TX

Hi, several weeks ago I sustained an orbital fracture around my right eye. I haven't had any type of correction yet and functionally my eye is good. I'm concerned about aesthetic changes. My eyes are now noticeably asymmetrical. I've included photos, but it's difficult for me to fully capture with my smartphone camera. I estimate posterior and/or inferior displacement by at least a couple of millimeters. Do you think it's plausible to correct at this point? Thank you for your time.
