Can You Have a Facelift After Bell’s Palsy? Even if you have synkinesis that tricky facial nerve condition where movements like blinking cause unexpected twitches, a facelift is still an option... The answer is Yes, absolutely.

A deep plane facelift lifts and repositions facial structures that have descended due to aging, but it doesn’t touch the nerves or fix neural malfunctions. Synkinesis is more about nerve miscommunication, which we can manage with Botox to soften the muscles and reduce unwanted movements.

Interestingly, combining a facelift with a brow lift may even help offload some of the weight caused by Bell’s palsy and aging, reducing the amount of Botox needed over time. So, yes... you can have a facelift. Synkinesis stays, but with Botox and proper care, you’re all set.
