Facial palsy recovery

Hi all, I had my AN surgery in 2018 and after that I did physio for a while for the facial palsy. They also used to give me Botox injection on my chin to tighten it, but I had reaction due to Botox so they stopped. After a year or so I also stopped doing physio as my face started looking a little better. But now from last 8/9 months it seems my that part of face has dropped again. Please could anyone give me some guidance and also share any physio exercises if they have, I have started doing the ones which I remember but I feel they are not helping.

Go to the facial palsy UK site and there is lots of information including videos of physio exercises for your face. Good luck x

you could contact the hospital were you went for physio and ask them to re issue you the booklet. I still have mine but unsure how to put them on here . Good Luck
