In some cases, a surgeon can help restore symmetry and function of your face by borrowing other head and neck nerves including a chewing nerve (Masseteric Nerve), a tongue nerve (Hypoglossal Nerve), and/or a facial nerve from the normal side of your face (Cross Facial Nerve Graft). Your candidacy for these procedures depends on the timing and cause of your paralysis.
