I now have only one eyebrow that moves the left one is frozen and weakness to the top lip and side of the nose on the right side , realistically how long will it take for movement to return ? My surgeon assures me it will return .

Answer: Browlift with Possible Nerve Damage Since you are only a couple weeks from surgery it should return to a normal function. It may be months before it comes back though. It most likely is what we call a Neuropraxia. This simply means the nerve was "bumped" into and stopped working. After about a month delay it should start to "heal" but it still could take up to 6 to 12 months for the function to come back. There is an outside chance it would not return but in my experience it always came back.
