Patient's question:
Facial paralysis has made my two eyes uneven in size, with drooping eyelids. How can I do massage to improve the uneven eyes after facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Facial nerve dysfunction leading to asymmetrical eyes (one large, one small) requires two treatment methods. First, acupuncture and physiotherapy can be used to control the condition. Second, testing for neurotransmitters can help rule out muscle weakness, particularly an increase in acetylcholine neurotransmitter excretion, which can cause asymmetrical eyes. Patients with facial paralysis may be unable to perform normal facial expressions, resulting in a grotesque, smiling appearance.
