Hello
It seems from the history that you are having twitching of the eye lids and you are treated with botox injections.
The problem you have now that drooping of eye lid is because of effect of botox and it will be slowly recovered as the effect of the botox decrease.
The surgical options for eye lid twitching are less often practiced in clinical practice and do consult oculoplasty surgeon for further evaluation and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
