The doctor said to wait and it should repair itself. I am very nervous. Is there anything that will help in the repair process? B vitiamins? Anything I can do to speed/insure the healing?

Answer: Weakness After Facelift
Weakness after a facelift can occur but is thankfully rare. Even rarer is permanent weakness. It may take some time for a nerve to rebound after a procedure. Although the standard treatment of observation is sufficient, there have been some studies looking at cetyl-L-Carnitine and Nimodipine which have been shown to helpful in the recovery process.

Answer: Smile recovery after a facelift
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!
