So that effects his facial movements. Directly after the surgery his body did not know how to respond to this nerve being partially gone so he could barley move the left half at all, but now being many years later, he has learned how to control it much better.<br /><br />But due to the fact that it is a benign tumor it is very rare that it will come back at all.
