Hi nooc in Vancouver,

Yes, eyelid muscle may be repaired after injury.

The eye and eyelids have several muscles, and eye muscle repair is typically performed at the time of injury. However, given such factors as the extent of injury and potential scar tissue, repair may not restore the eyelid to the exact preinjury condition. As a result, revision eyelid procedures may be required. Only after a comprehensive evaluation by a plastic surgeon, oculoplastic surgeon, or similar specialist can he/she help determine appropriate options for you. Best of luck.

It can be possible to repair damaged eyelid muscles.  Seeking consultation with an oculoplastics surgeon will allow you to learn about available options for you.  Depending on the injury these can be repaired at the time of injury or if not, can have a delayed repair.  Methods of repair depend on the degree of injury and eyelid function.
