2 months after orbital fracture concerns. Face looks noticeably asymmetric - should I seek opinions to fix this? (Photos)

Hello, 2 months ago I suffered an orbital fracture, CT showed displacement. The doctor had suggested conservative healing and set follow up appointment in 12 days after the incident. There were no vision problems detected except double vision that resolved on it's own. So, on follow-up appointment the doc decided no surgery is needed and suggested follow-up appointment in a month. Later, I started noticing slight pain/discomfort around the area, but decided it was normal since I got off painkillers and continued to follow the instructions. Around 5-6 weeks after the incident, I noticed that my eyelid is tilted and my cheeckbone looks a bit bumpy and eye-bag area lacks volume. So I told the doctor about it, and they suggested that surgery was going to be risky and pain might be either prevalent or resolved on it's own. The ophthalmologist, again couldn't find anything and said that eyelid is gonna heal if I continue excercies. Now, I can't help but feel my face looks noticeably assymetric, one eye is bigger than other and eye-bag tissue seems to overlap with cheeckbone. Should I seek other doc's opinion and is it too late to fix it, if needed?
