hi, gone through your case, but as you have mentioned that you have undergone a repair for orbital fracture and if there is no injury to the eyeball there are least chances of eyeball sinking. Though swelling of lids many a times appear as sunken or small eye ball.I think you should see an ophthalmologist for complete eye checkup and rule out hematoma. swelling of nearby soft tissues is common in cases of fracture which may take 1-2 months to resolve even on medication.It requires antiinflammatory agents like diclofenac, serratiopeptidase and in severe cases also chymoral forte.
