Orbital Fracture - Will It Fill in on Its Own?

dakine46
From the report: Left orbital floor blowout fracture with minimal displacement identified. Minimal intraorbital fat extends into fracture defect. No extra muscle entrapment identified by CT. The orbits appear normal. Specifically, the globes, optic nerves and extracular muscles appear normal. Minimal anterinferior left orbital emphysema is present No air-fluid levels identified within the paranasal sinuses. Bilateral inferior maxillary sinus retention cyst or polyps noted. I was hit in the left eye/nose area. Doc said I have a fracture (went in 1mm) that will fill in on it's own. Will it? Also, will it get strong?
