Facial Nerve Paralysis Care

Our Specialized Approach

• Comprehensive Diagnostic Evaluation: We conduct a thorough neurological and anatomical examination to determine the underlying cause of the paralysis, ranging from Bell’s palsy to trauma or ear-related pathology.

• Early Intervention Strategies: Prompt medical management—including targeted pharmacological therapy—is crucial during the acute phase to maximize the chance of full facial function recovery.

• Eye Protection & Care: Facial paralysis often prevents the eye from closing completely. We provide essential guidance and protocols to protect the cornea and maintain ocular health during the recovery process.

• Long-term Functional Rehabilitation: For chronic or incomplete recovery cases, we provide ongoing care and coordinate with physical therapy specialists to improve facial symmetry and muscle control.

• Facial Palsy Neural Reinnervation: We perform procedures like facial - masseteric and facial - hypoglossal nerve anastomosis for reanimation of the paralysed face in indicated cases.

Recognizing the Symptoms

Facial nerve dysfunction often appears suddenly. You should seek an immediate specialist evaluation if you experience:

• Sudden weakness or drooping on one side of the face.

• Inability to close the eye or blink on the affected side.

• Difficulty with facial expressions, such as smiling or frowning.

• Drooling or changes in the ability to taste.
