AB  - Facial  nerve  dysfunction  can  dramatically  affect  a  patient’s  quality  of  life.  The  human  face  is  a  focal  point  for  expression  and  interpersonal  communication,  as  facial  motor  movement  contributes  to  eye  protection,  speech  articulation,  chewing  and  swallowing,  and  emotional  expression.  Thus,  the  patient  with  a  facial  palsy  suffers  not  only  the  functional  consequences  of  impaired  facial  motion  but  also  the  psychological  impact  of  a  skewed  facial  appearance.
