Is it possible to regain orbital fat after rapid weight loss or will I need surgery?

Question

I am 45 years old and recently had a rapid weight loss due to stress and malnutrition which caused the orbital fat on my eyes to disappear. My eyes have now turned hollow looking and I would like to know if I gain the weight back will it return to my eyes or is surgery my only option?

Orbital fat is generally resistant to normal weight loss, but if you have had a significant amount of weight and are emaciated, orbital fat cells will also shrink. In this instant, weight gain will cause the cells to rebound and your orbital fat should recover to pre-weight loss levels.
