If possible, can I take out the 4 metal plates under my eye and over the ending of my eyebrow after my cheekbone heals? (Photo)

I got into a really bad car accident. Left cheek bone broken / right side was fractured. I have 4 metal plates. 2 plates on the end of my eyebrow and 2 below my eye lid. My concern is my left eye is more open then my right eye. I have natural chinky eyes. But my left eye where i have the metal plates is a lot more open than my righty eye where there’s no metal plates., will it be possible to take out the metal plates? And will my eyes look normal after taking out the plates
