Surgery is almost the only choice, but many people worry that surgery will not damage facial nerves. Let the experts give you a detailed introduction.
There are two kinds of facial nerve: sensory nerve and motor nerve. Sensory nerve belongs to trigeminal nerve, which mainly receives facial sensations, such as pain, warmth, touch and pressure. Motor nerve, that is, facial nerve, mainly controls facial expression muscles and is responsible for facial expressions and movements. Because the mental nerve is located on both sides of the mandible, if the plastic surgeon is inexperienced, it may lead to facial nerve injury during the operation, which also marks the failure of the operation.
Relatively speaking, it is a very difficult face-lifting operation, and a certain degree of facial nerve injury is inevitable. This kind of traction injury to facial nerve will lead to numbness or hypoesthesia of local skin of lower lip and chin. Because it is sensory nerve injury, it will not affect appearance, facial muscle movement and facial expression. This kind of injury in mandibular angle surgery can generally be gradually recovered, and the recovery time may vary from person to person, but it usually takes 23 months.
Experts remind that only by choosing regular plastic surgery hospitals and experienced doctors can the risk of surgery including facial nerve injury be reduced.
