Cannot Blink After Facelift

It would appear that you have an injury to a branch of your facial nerve. This often resolves itself on its own if the nerve is just bruised and not cut. However, you need to see an Ophthalmologist as soon as possible to prevent injury to your eye from drying out. I would also suggest you see your surgeon and talk with him/her about this.

Inability to blink after Facelift is not a common or normal occurrence after Facelift.  The branches of the facial nerve responsible for blinking innervate the muscle in a very deep plane very close to the nose. Therefore, I am puzzled as to what happened. My recommendation is that you return to see your Surgeon for recommendations, reassurance, and possible solutions.
