I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. It results from dysfunction of cranial nerve vii (facial nerve) which directs the muscles on one side of the face, including those that control eye blinking and closing and facial expressions such as smiling. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
