Question
How to Restore Normalcy After Facial Paralysis Surgery?
Answer
Patients with post-surgical facial paralysis can engage in appropriate self-exercise in their daily lives. Firstly, they should reduce stimulation to their eyes and face, avoiding prolonged use of computers and televisions. Secondly, they can perform facial exercises such as raising eyebrows, puffing out cheeks, closing eyes, and opening their mouths to promote the recovery of facial muscles. Additionally, moderate exercise and good sleep can aid in overall recovery. In terms of diet, they should avoid spicy and irritating foods and supplement with medications and vitamins that nourish the nerves. Most importantly, maintaining a positive mental and physical state, paying attention to personal hygiene, can enhance immunity and prevent bacterial infections.
