Got Hit On Forehead. Swelling Caused Eye To Close. Eyebrow Is Uneven. Healing Time?
i got hit with a bottle on my forehead and ended up getting 15 stitches on the left side of my forehead about 2 weeks ago, when the swelling ocurred it caused my eye to close due to the size of the swelling. 95% of the swelling is gone but my left eyebrow is a little bit uneven with the right one causing my eye to look a little lazy, is this permanent or is my eye going to get back to normal just like the swelling?

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
First of all, I would like to reassure you that your symptoms are due to a scalp hematoma (bleeding underneath the skin) and it would gradually improve over time.
I expect your eyelid and swelling around the eye to be totally normal in 2-3 weeks.
Wishing you good health,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)
