Can Orbital Rim reduction be reversed?

Question

I recently got an orbital rim Reduction surgery around 3 months ago. I'm not sure if I like the results. Every time I look in the mirror I don't recognise myself and I think I prefer how I looked prior to the operation. Can this surgery be reversed when everything is healed? For example by adding in implants to that area?

The simple answer your question is yes. There are a few different ways of doing this.
Custom implants can be used, methyl maculate can be used or bone graft or Cartlidge grafts. 
You can even restore bone volume using fillers.
I suggest getting input from neutral sources, such as plastic surgeons not involved in your case, and have them review before, and after pictures to give you their opinion before contemplating something as complex as an attempt at revision surgery for this.
This type of decision should not be made lightly and emotional impulses from looking in the mirror is probably not the best way to decide.
Best,
