Forehead eye brows lowered and droopy feels heavy. I’m 6 months out from when it happened. my brows still have not went back to normal they are still lowered My eyeslids swell and eyes are blurry some days. Still have numb sensation and itching some days. Still have heavyness. Could this be permanent?
