Bell's Palsy (addressing asymmetry)

Service Description

Bell's palsy, a condition characterized by sudden facial nerve paralysis, often leads to noticeable facial asymmetry due to muscle weakness or atrophy on one side of the face. Addressing this asymmetry involves the strategic use of botulinum toxin (Botox) and dermal fillers. Botox can be applied to the unaffected side to reduce muscle activity, achieving a more balanced facial appearance by relaxing overactive muscles that compensate for the paralyzed side. Dermal fillers, typically hyaluronic acid-based, can be used to restore volume and contour to areas of the face affected by muscle atrophy, improving symmetry and enhancing facial harmony. Together, these treatments offer a non-surgical approach to restoring facial balance and improving the quality of life for individuals affected by Bell's palsy.
