Patient's question:
My friend and I went on a trip together last time, and when we came back, I reviewed my phone notes and noticed that the photos were a bit tilted. Was the person in the photo smiling with their mouth, or was it facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
No one's facial features are completely symmetrical on the left and right. You might not have noticed this much. Drinking water without answering doesn't mean it's facial paralysis. If one side is chewing, then one side of the face can indeed appear asymmetrical. This does not require treatment. You can now consciously chew on the other side. As you age, the structure of the facial features will also change again. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
