Without doing a physical exam, it is quite challenging to determine what exactly is going on here. You could have a potential injury to one of the branches of the facial nerve that controls the eye and smile. I recommend seeing a board-eligible or board-certified ACTUAL plastic surgeon with at least 6 years of integrated plastic surgery training (ideally followed by an aesthetic fellowship accredited by The Aesthetic Society).
