Today’s Question: Can facelifts cause nerve damage?
Although the risk is low, this is a possible outcome especially if your surgeon is not well trained or skilled in this procedure. Permanent nerve damage is almost unheard of by board certified plastic surgeons but temporary nerve irritation can be caused in rare cases, with full return of function within a couple months.
