3 months ago my eyes sunk into the eye sockets within some hours. Now they look strange and small. In advance of this I had struck the top of my head on a metal bar maybe one week before I noticed the sunken eyes. At the beginning it was very difficult to move my eyes, also i had the feeling that my upper eyelids fall down. For 3 weeks the eyes and eye sockets pain. Now my eyes doesn't close completely and not synchronously. I am very scared I saw an oculist but he said nothing to the symptoms.

Best to see an oculoplastic specialist for evaluation and discussion of options. First, a diagnosis has to be made. Then treatment options considered. Orbital decompression is one option. Other procedures could be orbital rim implant or eyelid surgery.
Yes, the swelling in the lower eyelid and cheek areas can be seen after upper eyelid surgery. Completely normal. I encourage you to use cold compresses for up to 4 days after the surgery as this will help improve this otherwise temporary concern. Best of luck.
The appearance of wide set eyes can be more common in asians due to a naturally lower nasal bridge. If the nasal bridge is built up to the point between the eyes, the eyes appear closer together. This can be done permanently with surgery or you can have filler injections which last for 1-2 years...
