I had a polyp in my sinus track, this was removes and I had nerve damage on left side of face. I used CBD salve to control the pain. Took about a year or more before it healed. The surgery affects the eye tooth with infection, root canal. Every thing is good now. About 3 years, The ENT Mad never mentioned the issue on nerve damage or what caused it or what to do.

@farmer0233-thank you for sharing.
Most ENTs deal with patient complaints of “pain” pre surgery, so they are able to brush off patients whom have an entirely different type of pain complaint post surgery. I would advise any person whom sees and ENT and are recommended a surgery, to have them walk you through the anatomy of the cranial nerves and explain neuropathies of the cranial nerves. Most will not be able to do this. So seek out a Neurologist whom is not affiliated with that ENT, have them tell you how many patients they see post sinus/nasal surgeries due to complications. Cranial neuropathies and scarring are entirely different than other places on the body post surgery.
There are 100 different muscles in the face. All richly innervated by nerves embedded into the skull and brain. Be very cautious.
