Why does a person's face sag when they have a stroke?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Facial sag: When you have a stroke there is damage to brain tissue which controls various nerves. If the nerves to the facial muscles are involved in the stroke, then the face may sag because of the facial nerve being interfered with.
