If Nerve Was Cut During a Face Lift, Do I Have a Chance of Nerve Regeneration? The right eyebrow and right side of forehead got totally paralyzed since a face lift done 10 weeks ago. I don’t know if this is only a nerve damage or if this branch was severed. I am doing therapy with muscle stimulation so the muscle get some activity until the nerve regenerate, if so. I can close my eye normally, the only part that doesn’t move is eyebrow and same side forehead. I would like to know if even if the nerve was really cut during surgery, do I have a chance of nerve regeneration?

A: Usually Bruised but...

The frontal branch of the facial nerve can be traumatized during a facelift. This can range from a bruise to complete severing. The vast majority are bruised and do return over a period of weeks to months. If the nerve is cut, the nerve will obviously not work and you will be left with permanent brow paralysis. Good Luck
