Sudden change in eyelids accompanied by muscle tenderness - will Botox or filler help? 23 y/o (photos)

Asked By:Courageous623326 in San Jose, California

I woke up a few weeks ago to one eyelid appearing lower on my face, almost hooded. I’m 23, so I didn’t expect sudden wrinkles or anything of the sort. A couple days later I noticed some muscle soreness. I also went to my PCP to rule out anything serious, and they said I looked fine and it seemed like swelling. How long should I wait before I investigate ways to resolve this cosmetically? Could Botox or filler help? Before and after attached.
