Can orbital shave surgery be performed through an eyelid incision? (Not looking for full brow ridge surgery)

andyseeya
I have an a prominent brow ridge and orbital region and am seeking a reduction. I do, however, have a quite rapidly receding hairline and therefore I feel a coronal incision is not an option. Much of the orbital bone that I wish to be shaved down is right down behind much of my upper eye lid and seems very accessible. I understand that full brow ridge surgery would require a scalp incision but as the orbital region is my main concern, I would be satisfied with this area being focussed on.
