Facial Nerve Trauma

well, thanks for your reply and now i m bit happy with your answer to me but i want to know that could it have a chance to  take more than 12 to 24 months because  it almost now took 1 year and 3 months to half recovery of my facial movement. And u didnt tell me that when i lift my left eyebrow my right side cheeks also lift with that. Does it any affect to my face movement?

The compensatory movement of your partially paralysed and recovering right side is not uncommon when you move your left side.  I suspect that this will improve as further nerve regeneration occurs.

Hi Maddy, having a difficult time understanding you.
It sounds to me like you have permanent nerve damage.
This is what is causing your lip to move when you raise your eyebrow.
You will need to seek out a nerve specialist to determine what might be done to help you.
I believe you should seek out an attorney to help you have the costs of your treatment covered
as this will take therapy and possibly surgery.
Also seek out a therapist to discuss your mental well being too.
This is a taumatic experience to go through and you need a team of Drs to get the best care possible.

If you have a church seek out spiritual guidance as well. All of this will help make you strong and feel confidant that life will be good again. This too shall pass. There is help and hope always. Find an attorney soon as the statute of limitations sets time limits for how long you have to pursue a claim. What was your original surgery on your right ear for, you never said?
Good luck babydoll hang in there!
