Hey guys. I had a major motorcycle accident last year back in April and among a lot of injuries, the skin off the left side of my face tore and it was put back brilliantly well by this surgeon who used microplasty and fixed my cheek with 20 stitches. So its been a long time since, and even though my cheek has healed considerably (the swelling has reduced + I can talk, eat and do whatever else mouths do) the cheek doesn't seem to look like before. I am perfectly fine with the scar because it isn't too bad and well, I'm lucky to be alive.. but basically, when I smile or open my mouth wide, the left side can't respond as adequately as my right side. So my smile comes out awry. I think its because the nerve cells haven't completely reconstructed yet. Its just a theory but it makes sense to me. So is there anyway I can possibly stimulate my nerve cells to get better faster? Its been 11 months and I figured I'd have healed up by now. Like I said before, the scar doesn't bother me.. but if someone can help me smile like I used to, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks so much!

p.s: I hope this fits in skin care. First post!:o:)
