Among other functions, these muscles are essential for blinking, smiling, and chewing food. The most common ocular sequelae of facial palsy are lagophthalmos and brow <a href=\"\/en\/info\/droopy-eyelids-ptosis-surgery\/\">ptosis.<\/a><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Lagophthalmos is a medical term used to describe the inability of the patient to close the eyelids completely, leading to exposure of the cornea. It must be treated quickly to prevent corneal ulceration, infections, and perforation of the eye. Treatment is <a href=\"\/en\/functional-reconstructive-surgery\/\">surgical<\/a>, by implanting a gold weight of a predetermined size in the upper eyelid. It is a safe and effective operation. Patients undergoing gold weight implantation will be able to close the eye adequately after the operation.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Another sequela is the descent of the eyebrow. Patients with brow ptosis usually complain of decreased vision on the side of the palsy. This is caused by obstruction of the patient\u2019s visual field by the ptotic brow. It is treated by surgically raising the brow with a direct browplasty operation. The procedure is done under local anesthesia. The surgeon removes a strip of skin above the brow and closes the defect with sutures, automatically raising the tail of the brow. The result is noticed by the patient immediately after surgery.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e66bec elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"3e66bec\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=1jEQjwZhXNY&quot;,&quot;lazy_load&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;show_image_overlay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;image_overlay&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.artefacial.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/02\\\/Paralisis-facial-Facial-Palsy-1.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:19000,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Par\\u00e1lisis facial - Facial Palsy&quot;,&quot;source&quot;:&quot;library&quot;},&quot;lightbox&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-lightbox\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-custom-embed-image-overlay\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;video&quot;,&quot;videoType&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/embed\\\/1jEQjwZhXNY?feature=oembed&amp;start&amp;end&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;loop=0&amp;controls=1&amp;mute=0&amp;rel=0&amp;cc_load_policy=0&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;modalOptions&quot;:{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;elementor-lightbox-3e66bec&quot;,&quot;entranceAnimation&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;entranceAnimation_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;entranceAnimation_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;videoAspectRatio&quot;:&quot;169&quot;}}\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJ0eXBlIjoidmlkZW8iLCJ2aWRlb1R5cGUiOiJ5b3V0dWJlIiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL3d3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbVwvZW1iZWRcLzFqRVFqd1poWE5ZP2ZlYXR1cmU9b2VtYmVkJnN0YXJ0JmVuZCZ3bW9kZT1vcGFxdWUmbG9vcD0wJmNvbnRyb2xzPTEmbXV0ZT0wJnJlbD0wJmNjX2xvYWRfcG9saWN5PTAiLCJhdXRvcGxheSI6IiIsIm1vZGFsT3B0aW9ucyI6eyJpZCI6ImVsZW1lbnRvci1saWdodGJveC0zZTY2YmVjIiwiZW50cmFuY2VBbmltYXRpb24iOiIiLCJlbnRyYW5jZUFuaW1hdGlvbl90YWJsZXQiOiIiLCJlbnRyYW5jZUFuaW1hdGlvbl9tb2JpbGUiOiIiLCJ2aWRlb0FzcGVjdFJhdGlvIjoiMTY5In19\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D&apos;http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg&apos; viewBox%3D&apos;0 0 1024 512&apos;%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.artefacial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Paralisis-facial-Facial-Palsy-1.jpg\" class=\"lazy-load attachment-full size-full wp-image-19000\" alt=\"Par\u00e1lisis facial - Facial Palsy\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.artefacial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Paralisis-facial-Facial-Palsy-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.artefacial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Paralisis-facial-Facial-Palsy-1-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.artefacial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Paralisis-facial-Facial-Palsy-1-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-custom-embed-play\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Play Video about Par\u00e1lisis facial - Facial Palsy\" tabindex=\"0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-eicon-play\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 1000\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M838 162C746 71 633 25 500 25 371 25 258 71 163 162 71 254 25 367 25 500 25 633 71 746 163 837 254 929 367 979 500 979 633 979 746 933 838 837 929 746 975 633 975 500 975 367 929 254 838 162M808 192C892 279 933 379 933 500 933 621 892 725 808 808 725 892 621 938 500 938 379 938 279 896 196 808 113 725 67 621 67 500 67 379 108 279 196 192 279 108 383 62 500 62 621 62 721 108 808 192M438 392V642L642 517 438 392Z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Facial paralysis causes severe weakening of the muscles on the affected side of the face.
