Aesthetic Errors Require Physical Therapy Errors due to aesthetic procedures can lead to problems such as disruption of facial symmetry, inability to close the mouth and eyes, difficulty laughing, and a dull face without facial expressions. Emphasizing that the most common cause of these problems may be facial nerve damage, Romatem Medical Director Dr. Hülya Şirzai said, "As a result of incorrect interventions on the face, sequelae may remain. This requires a rapid physical therapy and rehabilitation process." M A G Health and Beauty Today, different treatment applications, technological devices and anti-aging cosmetic products are widely used especially in facial beautification and rejuvenation. These treatments and procedures can bring very good effects and positive changes as well as unwanted effects. Common aesthetic procedure errors include inappropriate techniques or procedures and the use of botulinum toxin (botox), which has recently been provided from different sources to reduce costs.
Faulty Aesthetic Applications Can Cause Facial Paralysis Romatem Health Group Medical Director, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Specialist Assoc. Dr. Hülya Şirzai said, "Especially after facial beautification and rejuvenation procedures, many patients come to our clinics with complaints such as facial asymmetry, difficulty in closing the mouth, disruption of symmetry in mouth movements while laughing, failure to close the eye, numbness in the mouth, face and tongue. Facial expressions and the symmetrical appearance of the face are very important in human relations. A person's facial expression reflects their physical and hereditary characteristics as well as their emotions. Facial gestures, which have an important role in determining identity and in the person's relations with the environment, are the facial nerve that provides the tonus and movement of the facial muscles. It is this nerve that provides many other functions such as the sense of taste, protection of the inner ear from loud noise.

This is due to the visual effect of facial paralysis. After faulty aesthetic applications, hearing and taste disorders are hardly noticeable, while the loss of facial movements is noticed at first sight. Difficulties may be encountered in eating, drinking, speaking and expressing personal emotions such as happiness, surprise, disgust and anger." Cosmetic Damages May Require Physical Therapy Eleven percent of facial nerve damages that occur during medical procedures occur during aesthetic procedures. If it is known that the facial nerve is protected during surgical intervention and a facial paralysis develops in the early period, this may also occur due to the effect of local anesthetic drugs. Reminding that if there is no regression within the expected period, it should be treated as soon as possible, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hülya Şirzai reminds that when left to heal spontaneously, sequelae remain in approximately one third of patients and gives the following information: "Facial asymmetries caused by facial nerve damage due to aesthetic applications need to be treated. ,
The treatment method is chosen according to the type of damage. In cases where the integrity of the nerve is preserved, we mainly choose medication and physical therapy methods, while surgery is performed in cases where the nerve is cut. In the early period, we especially apply medical treatments (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), anti-viral agents, corticosteroids, vitamin preparations, etc. As the damage becomes chronic, it requires more physical medicine and rehabilitation approaches. Superficial and deep heaters, high-intensity laser, electrotherapy, exercises for facial muscles and facial yoga are among the treatment methods we frequently use. Depending on the damage to the nerve, we see significant improvement in about two to three weeks. We recommend our patients to do the exercises we show regularly."
