Marginal Mandibular Injury, Facelift

I would recommend seeing a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ideally with 6 years of integrated plastic surgery residency training and ALSO a 1 year aesthetic fellowship accredited by the Aesthetic Society). When it comes to facial nerve injuries, time is the most important factor. I would recommend immediately calling the UCLA or USC facial nerve clinic to try to obtain an appointment if possible.

Hello, hope you are well. I would recommend that you see a facial nerve specialist if you haven't already. Though the prognosis for spontaneous return of function may be poor, other treatments are usually available to improve symmetry and function.
Best,Dr. Tower
