What can help my paralyzed and drooping right eyebrow?

December 8, 2012
Asked By:Carrie810 in Middletown, DE

I suffered nerve damage to the right side of my face after a car accident. This has caused my right eyebrow to be much lower than my left, and I'm unable to raise my right eyebrow as high. Because of this my face is severly asymmetrical. I have read that smoking marijuana may help make the nerves strong, and that may help with the asymmetry. Is this true? What other things would help my condition? This has caused extreme depression and anxiety. Thank you.
