Could an eyebrow injury cause nerve damage in rest of the face?

July 8, 2016
Asked By:djdnfhfjjd in Miami, FL

When i was a few years old i got a deep cut on the end of my eyebrow, and more than a decade later my eyebrow droops a little, eyelid droops, and that side of my face droops. The other side of my face has more definition, but on the side that recieved the scar, the lip falls down slightly, and this side stores all the fat. Why is this? Is it because of the scar?
