Muscle Weakness After Subcision?

August 20, 2013
Asked By:jim9594

I had subcision yesterday. After the surgery, my left side of my face was numb while my right side was normal. Everything eventually went back to normal after several hours except my left eyebrow. I have very limited mobility. My doctor thinks this is because he may have injected the anesthetic directly into the nerve or may have damaged it. He says that since I still have some movement, I should expect full range of motion. Thoughts?
