I had upper eyelid surgery and was not very happy with my results. I probably cried almost every weekend for 2 months after my surgery. My eyes were swelling so bad it felt like they will explode and I had a lot of pain in the area of the stitches. Would this harm the way eyes heal? Would this disinformation the position of the stitches? I notice the stitches have stretched and I'm not sure if they can be influenced and heal abnormally.

Answer: At two months after surgery, there should not be any stitches on the skin.
You look very attractive and there is no procedure that can place your eyes further apart. Embrace the serenity prayer and accept the things you cannot change, especially if it has no real detrimental impact on you (and your eyes do not) and spend your emotional energy on the other things...
1-2 mm enophthalmos can be totally normal. Also we don't have your scans so can't asses the fracture. See an eye socket specialist (oculoplastic surgeon). Having eye socket surgery runs risks of vision loss and double vision which are very real. Consider that before having surgery.
Your eyes look beautiful and symmetrical. I can't think of any way to improve them. You have been born with excellent anatomy so be careful about altering it as any alteration may not maintain the same smooth shape and balance.
