Patient's question:
Since my wife got a face slimming injection, she has been a bit like a mask. I want to ask the doctor how this kind of facial paralysis can heal on its own.Doctor's answer:
The situation you mentioned should be considered as potentially caused by facial nerve damage due to factors such as the injection of facial slimming needles, catching a cold or wind, and inflammation. It is important to promptly visit a regular public hospital's neurology department for a thorough examination to confirm the diagnosis, identify the cause, and then receive treatment from a specialist. The treatment may include medication, acupuncture, massage, physical therapy, or surgery, depending on the specific cause. Additionally, enhancing self-care can help the condition heal on its own.
