A Smile Returns After Facial Paralysis | Jen's Grateful Patient Story

After undergoing surgery to remove a rare cancer affecting her neck and face, Jen faced devastating news: her facial nerve had been severed, leaving her with paralysis on the right side of her face. One night, while scouring the web, she stumbled upon facial nerve expert Amit Kochhar, MD, at Pacific Neuroscience Institute. After reaching out via email, she was surprised to receive a call the very next morning. Dr. Kochhar assured her that he could help, and introduced her to neuro-ophthalmology surgeon Howard Krauss, MD, who helped in restoring her ability to blink. Jen's inspiring journey towards recovery is captured in our latest video.
