Eyebrow Frozen After Lower Facelift, How is that Possible?

You need to see your plastic surgeon ASAP. Your doctor needs to examine you and determine the exact cause of why you are unable to move your eyebrow. If you are in the LA I would be more than happy to examine you, as I have extensive experience in facial nerves.

During a facelift, big or small, the branches of the facial nerve lie just deep to where skin gets lifted and the suspensory tissues get tightened. The facial nerve branches emanate just in front of the earlobe, sending branches as high as the brow and as low as the jawline. These branches allow facial movement throughout the face. The nerve branch to the brow may get bruised or weakened with surgery and take some time to get strong again - this is the most common scenario with postoperative brow weakness after facelift. It sounds like this is what you are going through and it's not unusual to have one side weak and one side ok. This should completely improve over the course of the next 3-6 months. You will need to follow along with your plastic surgeon to assure improvement. If it does not, the nerve may need to be explored
