Can Droopy Eyelid Caused by Nerve Injury Recover by Itself?

elizabethlee
Recently, I have droopy eyelid on my right eye and the last thing I did was getting my tooth pulled out so I guess there must be something went wrong with the nerve. Anyway, my eyes have become asymmetrical. I wonder if I have to undergo an surgery or are there any options better than surgery? Is there any possibility that it will recover by itself. I am very stressed out because it does effect my job as I work in a fashion field.
