Are There Any Surgical Treatment For Damaged Tissue Due To Bells Palsy?
Hello Doctor, I am a 19 year old femaile, i weigh 123 lbs and have athsma. I developed Bell s Palsy over night back in February of 2009. I recovered mostly over the following 8 months, but then the recovery stopped and my face is still slightly crooked, my right side of my face still looks very odd when i smile or laugh. Are there any surgical procedures that can completely restore nervous tissue damaged from bells palsy?

Hello,
Surgeries are used like nerve decompression, subocularis fat lift and implantable device placed under eyelid etc.
But please consult with your treating doctor he will advice you according to your condition. You almost recovered mostly face physiotherapy may be enough I think.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
