Question
After the recovery from facial paralysis, why do patients feel weak and painful in the muscles below the eyes when smiling or wrinkling their nose, and is this normal? How can it be recovered?

The complete recovery from facial paralysis typically takes 3 to 6 months. Patients can strengthen their facial muscle exercises and pay attention to their nutritional intake. Maintain a regular diet, primarily consisting of light foods, and ensure adequate rest and a positive mindset.
