Drooping eyelid

I would need to see photos to give you the best advice. If your brows are not symmetrical, a brow lift would be the best option to help restore symmetry. All of our faces are asymmetrical to some degree, so the goal of surgery would be to make an improvement. I would also seek a second opinion. A board certified oculoplastic surgeon may be able to provide you with some better insight. Thanks and good luck!

Droopy eyelids

It's very difficult to say without a photo or physical exam. You did see a Facial plastic or Oculoplastic surgeon, correct? see video

Drooping eyelid or other problem

This question can't really be answered without a picture of you and really should be answered by an oculoplastic surgeon. Try the ASOPRS website (dot org) to find a specialist in your area.
