How to resolve facial sagging post cancer treatment?

July 23, 2014
Asked By:Davidsonnc in Charlotte, NC

I have had surgery, radiation and chemotherapy for head and neck cancer. One eye and half of my face droops. I have been cancer free for 4 years. I was told that I cannot have surgery because of the nerve damage and muscle removal and that radiation changes skin healing properties. What can I do to improve this condition?
