I have sunken and hollow eye (left) after my ORIF of Zygomatic bone fracture. Is this normal and what should be done to fix it?

It's been almost 5 months post-surgery. The doctor who did the operation said everything is normal, its just the scar from the incision on the lower eyelid and black marks around the eye that makes it look hollow. I ask this question because I need a second opinion about this case. The appearance of my eye bothers me. Thank you for your response!
