Surgery for facial muscle spasms is not considered a failure if you are still jumping after surgery. It is currently believed that the cause of facial muscle spasms is the compression of blood vessels in the area of the facial nerve that exits the brainstem. Surgery is performed to separate the facial nerve from the compressed blood vessels, thereby relieving the facial muscle spasm. The patient’s facial nerve is damaged to varying degrees due to the long term compression by blood vessels. Even though the facial nerve is separated from the blood vessels after the surgery, it takes some time for the damaged facial nerve to recover. During this period of time, the facial nerve has not been completely repaired, so there will still be different degrees of facial spasms, at this time you can take oral neurotrophic drugs. Generally, after 3 months, the damaged facial nerve will be gradually repaired and the symptoms of facial spasm will be relieved.
