— but shortly after giving birth in April, she began to experience troubling symptoms in her face.
Chen said she had a sharp pain behind her left ear right after delivering via C-section, and later noticed her face was"looking odder." Doctors told her it was likely fluid buildup after giving birth, but when she got home from the hospital, her facial symptoms worsened. After calling her doctor, Chen was immediately readmitted to the hospital, where"everything fell," including her lower lip, which made it hard for her to speak.
Both sides of Chen's face, however, were affected — something Azizzadeh called"a very rare circumstance." Azizzadeh said that Bell's palsy doesn't impact sensation in the eyes, but does affect a critical facial muscle that helps close the eye. This can lead to dry, sensitive eyes and issues blinking.
