    I think my wisdom teeth extraction caused my droopy lid, but not sure.
    I got my wisdom teeth extracted at the end of July 2008 and the surgery went fantastic. No dry sockets, no real pain, everything was just perfect EXCEPT now I have a droppy left eye lid. Does anyone know if getting your teeth extracted can cause this? If it can, should I speak with the doctor that did the surgery on my teeth to help me fix this. I've searched everywhere for answers but I have come up with nothing. Please help.

    I have never heard of anyone having such an effect after wisdom teeth removal. I'd suggest you see your MD.

    If it were a droopy lip, it'd be more understandable. Droopy eye-lid, sounds more like a neurological problem.
