Does facial nerve palsy affect appearance?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I am 28 years old this year. I have always been in good health. A few days ago, I caught a cold and suddenly felt facial nerve palsy with uncontrolled twitching, feeling that my face was stiff. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and they suspected I had facial neuritis and treated me accordingly for facial neuritis. Hello, does facial neuritis affect appearance?

Doctor's answer:

Facial nerve palsy, also known as facial paralysis, occurs when the facial nerve is affected by a viral infection. In the early stages of treatment, the main approach involves antiviral medications, hormones, and nerve nutrition therapies. If the treatment is effective, there will be absolutely no. However, if the treatment is less effective, it may leave behind such as crooked mouth corners and inability to fully close the eyes. These can still interfere with your appearance.
