Can people with facial paralysis get plastic surgery?

Patient's question:

After suffering from facial paralysis, the eyebrows, mouth, and nose have all deformed. After a long period of treatment, although the illness was cured, the facial appearance did not fully recover to its previous state. Can those who have had facial paralysis undergo plastic surgery?

Doctor's answer:

The treatment of facial paralysis includes various types such as facial paralysis caused by trauma or surgery, late-stage facial paralysis (lasting over 2 years), post-stroke facial paralysis (such as facial muscle connectivity issues, inability to close eyes), and complex facial paralysis (such as bilateral facial paralysis, paralysis of the orbicularis oculi muscle, etc.). For simple facial paralysis, it is necessary to coordinate acupuncture, computerized medium-frequency therapy, cupping, and massage for nerve nutrition treatment. It is recommended to rule out viral or other causes. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
