Asymetical eyelid level can have a multitude of underlying causes howevever most can be sorted out by an exam and history. The CT scan also likely helped eliminate some underlying causes for a drooping eyelid. Usually the cause is related to the muscle and tendon attached to the eyelid. This can be corrected by an operation to tighten the tendon attachment to the eyelid. A surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgeons is trained sort out the possible causes and to handle the correction.
The first concern is to rule out a treatable cause of your eyelid droop. Once that workup is complete you can look at options to fix the eyelid droop. The usual procedure is a ptosis repair which tightens the eyelid elevating muscle to elevate the eyelid and improve symmetry. This is a procedure that requires alot of experience to create a natural looking result. Oculoplastic surgeons tend to have the most experience with this type of repair.

Lids can be uneven, and it is typical for one eye to be slightly larger than the other. That said, your photo shows a lower lid scar that is off its mark and is below the lash line. Lids can be forgiving however and over several months the scar may not be visible any longer.
It is not possible to change the size of the eye by rubbing it. If you rubbed it really hard, it is possible that you created swelling. If the area is swollen, it may give the illusion of a smaller eye. If this is the case, your issue should resolve itself within a few days. Without seeing...
