Facial Paralysis affects muscle movement, causing drooping, asymmetry, or loss of function on one or both sides of the face. Dr. Sam DeVictor specializes in facial paralysis treatments, including surgical and non-surgical options like facial reanimation, Botox, and selective neurolysis. These personalized approaches help restore muscle function, improve facial symmetry, and enhance quality of life.
