Possible Complication from a Facelift | Nerve Injury

Learn about how you can develop a nerve injury from a facelift. Though the nerve injury might be temporary it can be something that can cause emotional stress in the short term. Therefore I always urge looking for a facial plastic surgeon who has a ton of experience with facelifting.

I did a mini lift and double chin lipo 6 weeks ago. One side of my face got very bruised and paralyzed. The other a little paralyzed at the beginning and not bruising and now has a lot of movement but I can tell it needs to keep healing. The paralyzed side took long time to become normal in color. it was purple, green, yellow. I still have a big part of my cheek , side forehead (next to my eye) and side cheek with some dull pain and almost no sensation. I can see tiny improvement every day. The doctor said I will get back to normal and to be patience. However there is one part of my face which has no improvements at all and I'm getting nervous. It's the muscle or nerve that make you pull your lip up. like if you are grossed out, you will pull your nose and top of the lip. Ones side I can do no problem but the other doeskin even try. Also, I cant move my eyebrow to do an angry face, is if I had an intense botox in there. I can pull my eyebrow up but getting angry stays in neutral area close to the 11s is like it those nerves doesn't exists.The other eyebrow works ok. The numb area on the paralyzed side gets smaller little by little but I don't understand why those specific areas don't move at all. If there is any past experience with this I will appreciate it. My doctor keeps saying everything is ok but anxiety and worry is going high . 😭

You have to be very patient because if there is nerve weakness from the procedure it may take six months to a year to recover possibly sooner but staying calm is to your benefit because very often these nerve weaknesses resolve.

I had double vision in my left eye for a few months then one day it was gone.

I can't explain why you would have double vision following a facelift.
