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?
Answer: Eye smaller after trauma
You may have suffered from an eye socket fracture (orbital fracture) which can cause the eye to sink back (enophthalmos) which can make the eye appear smaller. There could be other factors involved too which is difficult to assess by a 2D photo. It is best if you see an oculoplastic specialist for evaluation.

Answer: Eyelid asymmetry.
Your photo shows primarily brow asymmetry with your left brow positioned lower than the right. Your left eyelid may or may not demonstrate ptosis (drooping). An in-person physical exam would be able to sort this out. High quality comparison photos from before your trauma would be useful in determining if the problem was related to the sports trauma. A unilateral left browlift and possibly ptosis correction may be indicated. Consult with experienced eyelid surgeons.

Answer: Drooping of Upper Eyelid Due to Injury? (photo)
I would be very careful in offering a surgery at this stage. This could be a normal anatomic variant to your facial structures. Obtain ONLY in person evaluations

Answer: Asymmetrical eyelids
The photos show the patient's left eyelid and eyebrow slightly lower than the right side. A left-sided minimal blepharoplasty where small amount of skin could be removed from the patient's left eyelid to make it balance and matched to the right side.

Answer: Drooping of Upper Eyelid Due to Injury?
What is apparent from the photo you posted is that your left eyebrow (right side of this photo) sits lower than the right eyebrow. It would be alot easier to assess this in person to see what a subtle lift of that eyebrow does for improving symmetry. I would not recommend anything be done with your eyelids but you could consider either a Botox browlift or a surgical browlift to improve symmetry. I hope this information is helpful.
