Facial Nerve Paralysis (Bell’s Palsy)
Before and After Photo Gallery

She had significant brow ptosis on the left side due to a complication of Bell’s Palsy. Bell’s Palsy can cause muscle weakness on one side of the face. Our patient underwent a unilateral endoscopic browlift with endotine fixation. The results were noticed right away and the patient was ecstatic about her results. Her postoperative photos were taken 3 months after surgery.

This patient suffered a very severe facial nerve palsy where her whole left side of her face was paralyzed. She could not close her lids well and lower lower lid was retraction. She underwent a midface lift and lid resuspension to help elevate her lid to help her close her eyelids more appropriately. A posterior spacer graft was also used in the lid retraction repair. After the surgery, she was able to close her lids better and her symptoms had all resolved.

This patient had a severe right-sided facial nerve palsy (weakening of her facial nerve) leaving her unable to close her lids when she tried to blink. Her right eye was very irritated and needed to be addressed. She underwent a complex surgery which included placing a gold weight in her upper lid to help her close her lid better. In order to help elevate her lower lid, she also underwent a midface (SOOF lift) and lid resuspension, hard palate posterior spacer graft, and canthoplasty. I prefer to use a hard palate graft in cases of moderate to severe retraction; I find that they provide exceptional long-lasting results in lower lid retraction. She did well post operatively and was symptom free and her eye continued to be healthy.
