Still sunken eye after delayed orbital floor fracture surgery. Will it improve in time? (photos)

October 16, 2016
Asked By:AuraMaria24 in Los Angeles, CA

10 days ago I had a surgery to correct double vision and enophthalmos (3mm) from an orbital floor and medial wall fracture I had 4 months ago. 10 days after I cannot see any change in my appearance or double vision. My eye looks smaller than before and still sunken, my eyeballs are uneven (affected eye looks higher in and it almost resembles a lazy eye). It will improve with time? It is because I'm swollen? Its related to the fact it was a delayed surgery? I'm very worried it will not improve
