What is the treatment for facial paralysis?

Patient's question:

I have facial paralysis. The doctor told me to do physical therapy. What are the treatments for facial paralysis?

Doctor's answer:

Severe facial paralysis patients can be completely restored through surgery. If the facial paralysis is caused by facial nerve fragmentation due to trauma, a nerve grafting surgery can be performed to treat it. This treatment method is suitable for early facial nerve trauma, as the facial nerves are easier to suture at this stage. In later stages, scar tissue growth can affect the suture of facial nerves, leading to poor treatment outcomes.
