Answer: Horner's Syndrome following spinal surgery Thank you for sharing your problem. You likely have ptosis (drooping eyelid) following your spinal surgery. This is a common problem Oculoplastic Surgeons manage. See an experienced doctor for comprehensive evaluation in person and discussion of treatment options.Good luck,

Answer: Eyebrow position change after spine surgery While nerves can recover for many years after injury, most times whatever recovery is present after two years is the limit for recovery since the muscle weakens over time. Main the meantime, you can use Botox to control the arching of the brow and to weaken the muscle on the opposite side to improve symmetry. Once you you and your surgeon are sure that recovery is complete, you can have a brow lift to try to get the best symmetry possible. Good luck.
