Generally, as long as you take good postoperative care and take precautions, there will be no sequelae. No surgery is guaranteed to be successful in curing recurring problems. However, currently, the success rate of microvascular decompression has reached 98%. Sometimes due to individual differences, such as new blood vessel displacement or adhesions, about 2% of patients may be ineffective or relapse. But it's a very small proportion.

Yu Yanbing, a facial nerve expert at the Civil Aviation General Hospital, suggested that the following measures should be taken after hemifacial spasm surgery.

Keep warm and avoid catching cold, especially in seasons with changeable weather. Even in summer, you should try to avoid catching cold. Of course, the probability of facial neuritis will be significantly reduced after a month.

Avoid excessive drinking within one month after surgery, because the body's resistance is significantly reduced after being drunk, and facial neuritis is prone to occur, leading to facial paralysis.

Avoid overexertion, pay attention to the balance between work and rest, maintain a regular life, and avoid the occurrence of facial neuritis.

Finally, I wish all patients with hemifacial spasm a speedy recovery
