Drooping of Upper Eyelid Due to Injury? (photo)

July 30, 2013

I was hit right below my eyebrow in a sports collision about five years ago. It resulted in an immediate swelling of the area that turned into a black eye lasting for many weeks. Five years later, my left eyelid still has a slight droop. What can I do to fix this and how much would it cost?
