Question

Does facial paralysis have sequelae?

Answer

Facial paralysis can indeed leave sequelae. Early treatment is extremely critical in the management of facial paralysis, as it can comprehensively reduce the recurrence of sequelae. Delayed treatment can make it difficult for the condition to be fully recovered, leading to abnormal facial expressions, asymmetry in eye size, or crooked lips. These are all sequelae left by facial paralysis. Therefore, timely treatment of facial paralysis is essential.
