Nerve Injury After Chin Lipo. Would Like Second Opinion Re Methylprednisolone? (photo)

momtothree
I had chin lipo 2 wks ago. The right side of my mouth has been paralyzed since (asymmetry when I talk, smile, open mouth). Today, I received Botox to the other side to try and even things out. The PS prescribed Methylprednisolone 4 MG for 5 days, saying that decreasing the swelling may help heal the nerve faster. I would appreciate a second opinion on whether Methylprednisolone will make a difference? I would rather not take corticosteroids if the benefits are not likely to outweigh the risks.
