I am a 62 year old female that got Bells Palsy when I was 35.It left me with a slight dropping of the right side of my face especially my eye and mouth. I want to know since the facial nerve was damaged from the Bells Palsy if a facelift is possible ?

Answer: Can a facelift be possible after having Bells Palsy? Absolutely. A facelift is possible and may even be able to restore symmetry if asymmetry is present.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Facelift after Bell's Palsy Thank you very much for the question. Yes, it is definitely possible to have a facelift after Bell's palsy. In some cases, facelift techniques are actually used to improve the symmetry of the face when the facial nerve has been damaged. Though Bell's palsy does result in permanent damage to the facial nerve in some cases, this is typically more proximal (closer to the origin of the nerve) not in the distal branches near the facial muscles. Best of luck moving forward!#San Francisco Facelift
