I need help, I wish there can be something I can do with my head shape, I am tired of people looking or stare at me, but I am begging and hope that there is some I can do!

Hi there. Sorry to hear about your trauma - injuries to the eye socket are terrifying. Enophthalmos can occur after orbital floor fractures - whether they are repaired or not! It is a result of decreased tissue in the eye socket and in fractures is a result of tissue falling through the orbital...
Thank you for your question. If the fracture is not displaced, closely approximated, it will heal fine. If it is displaced, you may need surgery and internal reduction and fixation to achieve optimal healing. I hope this helps!
The answer as to whether it is within the realm of possibility to shorten the face, the answer is yes. I would recommend seeing an Board-certified Oral/Maxillofacial Surgeon for an examination and a fully-informed recommendation about what your options are. Best wishes! Harry V. Wright MD
