Droopy eyelid, and my eyes feel like they've been pushed in. What procedures/tests do I need to fix the eyes? (Photo)

Asked By:jen1118 in Kongiganak, AK

I had a face massage and the girl who did it massaged my eyes really roughly with downwards strokes and then she pressed on them really hard. It hurt :/ After the massage I looked in the mirror and I wanted to cry because my eyes looked really droopy compared to before and very sunken. I went to a doctor, he gave me some eyedrops and said the muscle in the upper eyelid is probably damaged and I need to wait for it to heal, it's been 6 months and still looks same. I also look cross-eyed sort of.
