I Had a Face Lift 2 Weeks Ago. I Can't Smile on my Left Side. Are There Vitamins That Will Help?

Thank you for your question. I am very sorry to hear of your experience.

It is true that facial asymmetry and transient weakness is common after Facelift, most of these problems show some improvement by 2 weeks if the nerve dysfunction is temporary.

It is true that it may take 6 weeks for a temporary nerve dysfunction to fully improve.

However, if at 2 weeks there is no improvement I suggest that you re visit your Plastic Surgeon.

I have found that early intervention with DC (Direct Current) electrical stimulation can be helpful in protecting muscle function and improving return of function (DC stimulator -Med Labs-Goletta, Califonia.) This therapy should be prescriobed by your Plastic Surgeon or a Neurologist.

Unfortunately a transient nerve palsy is common after facelift surgery or even after liposuction of the neck. This generally gets better overtime and it takes patience. Things that may help in the process are:

1.massage,

2.ultrasound,

3.nerve stimulation

4.steroids.

But truly time will generally heal all. I hope this helps!
