Hi Anne,

I'm just over 5.5 years now and my face is still continuing to see changes too. Facial nerves are really amazing...and amazingly slow. But they do seem to keep healing which is good. My guess (and it's just a guess) is that the nerves continue to improve which allows the muscles to get stronger.
Here's to continued healing.
