A member asked:

Had midface lift, my lip and cheek droop slightly, smile is weak on the right side, i have numbness in the lip. can emg ncs test the nerves accurately?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, but do this: Emg can assess both facial and trigeminal nerve function, but these kinds of tests often require a degree of expertise to obtain reliable outcomes. Might seek out a doctor who is associated with a university medical school setting, or contact the american association of electrodiagnostic medicine for recommendations.
