I had orbital fracture surgery abt 5 months ago. I have a constant mild headche ( 4 days in a week) at the back left side of my eye ( injured eye). The pain is very mild but it doesn't go away. Also, my left eye looks very different than my right eye. There is no fat underneath myleft eye anymore which really bothers me. I was wondering if the fat will grow naturally underneath my left eye . Any suggession will be greatly appreciated.
