I had my left upper wisdom tooth extracted last fall and the left side of my face looks fine while the other side is fat and my hooded eye is more hooded on the right and my lash is drooping also on the right. I'm hoping when I get this other one out the problems get solved. Could my impacted tooth be the cause of this? I'm 29 I started getting really insecure about my face a few years ago and I'm wondering if it's the wisdom teeth nobody told me needed to come out until last year.
