Is the risk of facial paralysis surgery high?

Patient's question:

The patient has been dealing with facial paralysis for two years and has not been able to improve with medication. They are considering surgery as a treatment option. Is the risk of surgical treatment for facial paralysis significant?

Doctor's answer:

According to the current situation you described, if you have facial paralysis and if conservative treatment is ineffective, surgery can be considered for treatment. Surgery carries certain risks, which may lead to further worsening of symptoms, facial muscle spasms, or facial muscle disorders. The risk is not very high, but the effect is also not very significant. Additionally, it is important to rest more and avoid staying up late as much as possible.
