Facial paralysis may leave sequelae, including abnormal facial expressions, asymmetry of the eyes, and mouth twitches. Early treatment is crucial to reduce the occurrence of sequelae.
Whether facial paralysis has sequelae depends on the severity of the symptoms, the timeliness of treatment, and the system. Mild symptoms treated in the hospital and with appropriate rehabilitation usually do not leave sequelae. Severe symptoms that are not treated promptly may result in sequelae.
