Figure 7. Facial expression at 1-month follow-up. The patient was asked to pucker her lips, which is one of the assessments for facial expressions in patients with Bell’s palsy. While she initially struggled to perform this task, she was now able to do it easily. However, residual synkinesis is evident in the form of a left eyelid droop, which now only occurred when making facial expressions as opposed to also occurring at rest. This image was taken by AC and was used with the patient’s written consent.
