Crooked smile due to one side of top lip not moving properly, after facelift, what are my options?

Nerves can be strechted or bruised after a facelift.  This can cause limited movements or temporary paralysis.  If your surgeon is sure there is not nerve damage, then the movement will come back 100%.  This may take time but it will come back.  I would be patient and let it heal.  It is highly likely this will be temporary.I hope this helps.  

Thank you for the query and I'm sorry to hear of the difficulty you are experiencing.The good news is that this will most likely get better by itself.  There are a numbers of possibilities including stretching of the nerve or injury from the electrical current used to control minor bleeding that occurs with face lifting.  It is almost impossible to cut a nerve during most widely practiced face lifting techniques.  I suspect the nerve will return to normal in several weeks although this is difficult to predict.  In some cases recovery may require several months.  I hope this answer offers some reassurance and wish you a speedy recovery.
