No real treatment for truly paralyzed nerve
If a nerve branch is truly paralyzed, there is no intervention that can accelerate the potential nerve healing. Sometimes the nerve will heal and regenerate. Other times it will not. Its possible that is why your surgeon wants you to wait a couple of years.
A second opinion is definitely a good idea. Photos with and without raising eyebrow would also be helpful.

Botox , brow lift, brow asymmetry
Your case seems a bit complicated because it involves both surgery, Botox, and lasers.. Botox usually wears off in 3-4 months, so I would like to know when Botox injected. A photo of your eyebrows at rest and raising them would also be helpful. Hang in there, I really think the photos may help decide corrective measures. Lana Long, M.D.

It is reasonable for you to get some other opinions.
I am so sorry to read about your issues. You sound very frustrated with the situation. You did not tell us where you live but I recommend that you consider getting other opinions. This can be very helpful. A two year wait seems like an unreasonably long period of time.
