Why do I need a browlift and/or a midfacelift when I have facial paralysis?

Facial paralysis causes the facial muscles to atrophy (decrease in size and strength) such that the side of the face that is paralyzed over time will settle at a very noticeable lower position than the normal side, causing an obvious asymmetry. Dr. Lopez performs a browlift and/or midfacelift to restore the symmetry that was there before the paralysis.
