Facial Paralysis Sequelae
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
The aftereffects of facial paralysis are the problems that may remain after an episode in which the muscles on one side of the face weaken, once the acute phase has passed. Not everyone develops them, and they vary in severity.
How they present: Facial asymmetry at rest or when making expressions, associated involuntary movements, stiffness, or difficulty fully closing the eye on the affected side.
When should they be evaluated? When, after the first weeks or months, changes in the mobility or symmetry of the face persist.
Who treats them? The general practitioner can guide the initial evaluation, and care for the aesthetic and functional aspects of the face is usually supported by the aesthetic physician. Discussing the concerns during a consultation makes it possible to outline a personalized follow-up plan.
