Asked By:jac22 in Richardson, TX

I'm just wondering if it is still possible to have surgery so my eye doesn't look sunken in.. (my vision is fine) I didn't have the surgery because I was too scared then and now i hate the way I look. I've read that they usually like to do surgery 2 weeks after injury but didn't know if it was too late now. I also still have a bump in my cheek it was a blood clot they said it would go away but never went away completely. Can someone please help me out?
