Is it possible to treat facial paralysis with surgical resection?

Patient's question:

This morning, I happened to hear a colleague say that his relative had facial paralysis treated with surgery. Is surgical treatment effective for facial paralysis?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, treating allergies with this method can help with allergic rhinitis. However, for facial paralysis, the effect is relatively poor. The best time for treating facial paralysis is still during the acute phase, which lasts about a month. After several weeks, it becomes more difficult to fully recover. In the later stages, you can only take many neurotrophic drugs and undergo acupuncture and rehabilitation therapy. There is still a possibility that some aftereffects may remain.
