Paralysis

One of the significant risks in facelift surgery is injury to the facial nerve. This should be rare and I have never experienced this in a minilift. However, the fact that you are showing movement is very positive. No guarentee but, i expect a full recovery. Merves are slow.

Mid face lift

You need a consultation with an ophthalmologist ASAP ( Prefferably a neuro-ophthalmologist). Need a consult by a NEUROLOGIST, for full evaluation
