Patients with facial paralysis experience partial or complete loss of the ability to move the muscles on one side of the face (bilateral paralysis may also occur). This affects facial expression and facial movement and may cause difficulties with blinking, eye closure, speech and chewing. The Grupo Pedro Ja\u00e9n Facial Paralysis Unit brings together a multidisciplinary team of specialists led by Bel\u00e9n Alonso, coordinator of the Facial Paralysis Rehabilitation Working Group of the Spanish Society of Rehabilitation and Physical Medicine (SERMEF<\/a>). The team is structured to provide comprehensive, coordinated care aimed at achieving the optimal functional and quality-of-life outcomes for each patient.<\/p>\n

Facial paralysis may be managed using non-invasive therapeutic options aimed at restoring mobility, preventing long-term complications and optimising functional recovery through personalised care.<\/p>\n

Initial treatments to restore mobility<\/strong><\/p>\n

Management may include anti-inflammatory medication to reduce inflammation, as well as specific measures to protect the eye in cases of incomplete eyelid closure. Neuromuscular therapy is used to strengthen facial muscles, improve motor control and prevent complications such as muscle atrophy or hypertonia. <\/p>\n

Advanced therapies to optimise outcomes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Targeted facial exercises and injections may help relax overactive muscles, control stiffness and reduce spasms, supporting facial symmetry and functional recovery. Patients are monitored closely and treatment is adjusted according to individual progress. <\/p>\n

Throughout treatment, patients are closely monitored and therapeutic strategies are adapted according to individual progress, ensuring sustained and effective functional recovery.<\/p>\n

The Facial Paralysis Unit coordinates a range of surgical options tailored to each patient\u2019s diagnosis and clinical situation. In the acute phase, facial nerve reconstruction may be performed using direct suturing techniques or autologous nerve grafts. <\/p>\n

Functional recovery<\/strong><\/p>\n

In cases of complete facial paralysis where no significant reinnervation is observed within six months, surgical strategies may be considered to restore nerve signal transmission using donor tissue. These procedures aim to support essential functions such as speech and chewing.<\/p>\n

Relief of muscle atrophy<\/strong><\/p>\n

In long-standing facial paralysis, surgical interventions may be used to address muscle atrophy through reinnervation techniques, including microvascular nerve grafts or muscle transpositions using other healthy muscle groups.<\/p>\n

Improving eye closure and facial symmetry<\/strong><\/p>\n

Static procedures may also be indicated to improve eye closure (eyelid surgery), facilitate nasal airflow (nasal valve reconstruction) or enhance facial symmetry at rest. These may include techniques such as SMAS suspension, static fascia slings or facial lipoinjection with autologous fat. <\/p>\n

Facial paralysis affects not only physical function, but often has a significant emotional and psychological impact, influencing self-esteem, wellbeing and quality of life. At Grupo Pedro Ja\u00e9n, all these aspects are addressed as part of comprehensive patient care. <\/p>\n

Psychological support<\/strong><\/p>\n

Through the Emotional Support Unit, patients with facial paralysis have access to psychological resources and tools to help them cope with both the condition itself and the medical or surgical treatments prescribed by their specialists.<\/p>\n

Global approach<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our integrated care model allows patients to receive comprehensive support within the same care pathway, reducing unnecessary visits, waiting times and uncertainty, and significantly improving both physical and emotional wellbeing.<\/p>\n

A guide to understanding facial paralysis<\/mark><\/h2>\n

The incidence of facial paralysis ranges between 20 and 30 cases per 100,000 people per year and is more common between the ages of 15 and 45.<\/p>\n

Causes of facial paralysis<\/h3>\n

Idiopathic facial paralysis, also known as Bell\u2019s palsy, is the most common form of peripheral facial paralysis and accounts for more than half of unilateral facial paralysis cases.<\/p>\n

There are many other causes that can damage the facial nerve along its course and result in facial paralysis, including: <\/p>\n

Infections<\/strong><\/p>\n

Infection with viruses from the herpes simplex family is thought to be associated with Bell\u2019s palsy, which generally has a favourable prognosis. The varicella-zoster virus may also be linked to facial paralysis, which can sometimes recur. <\/p>\n

Trauma<\/strong><\/p>\n

Severe facial trauma, fractures of the temporal bone (located on both sides of the skull) and facial wounds can damage the facial nerve and cause facial paralysis.<\/p>\n

Tumours<\/strong><\/p>\n

Certain tumours may affect facial nerve function, regardless of their aggressiveness or malignancy. The most common is acoustic neuroma, also known as vestibular schwannoma, a slow-growing tumour that affects the nerve segment extending from the inner ear to the brain. <\/p>\n

Iatrogenic causes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Facial paralysis may also result from unintended nerve inflammation or injury during or after surgery involving the skull base, the ears or the parotid glands (salivary glands located in front of the ears on each side of the face).<\/p>\n

Congenital causes<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Moebius syndrome, facial paralysis is congenital and present from birth. This is a very rare condition caused by an abnormality of the rhombencephalon (the posterior part of the brain). <\/p>\n

Symptoms of facial paralysis<\/h3>\n

Symptoms of facial paralysis vary depending on whether the patient is in the acute phase or the subacute\u2013chronic phase of the condition.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=”Acute phase” content_last_edited=”off|desktop” admin_label=”S4conmutador1 – Margen top \/ base: 30, relleno topo \/ base: 25.” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”340b8c79-26d7-4fad-8112-9bf37cf22d23″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Facial paralysis usually appears suddenly and worsens over the following 24\u201348 hours, which is known as the acute phase. Symptoms then persist for a variable period and generally improve progressively with appropriate medical treatment and\/or specialised rehabilitation. <\/p>\n

Early diagnosis is essential to initiate timely treatment, optimise recovery and prevent long-term functional and aesthetic sequelae.<\/p>\n

Depending on the degree of nerve involvement, symptoms may be more or less severe. The primary symptom is difficulty or inability to move the muscles on the affected side of the face. <\/p>\n

This results in noticeable facial asymmetry involving eyebrow elevation, eye closure or blinking, and smiling. Patients may also experience difficulty sealing the lips, drinking, chewing, swallowing or articulating certain words or speaking fluently. <\/p>\n

Depending on the location of the nerve lesion, additional symptoms may include:<\/p>\n
