This kind of asymmetry bothers me a lot. I feel that my eyeballs sit far too deep in my orbital rims. I was looking into augmenting my orbital rims but that would make the "sunken look" worse. Can an orbital floor implant be placed BEHIND my eyeballs (to get rid of the sunken appearance) along with some implants around the orbital rim(to eliminate dark circles) ? I think these are the only options I have, considering that my whole orbital volume is small. Thank you for your time
