Hi Taylor
First of all I hope you receive the answers that you are looking for. I can only imagine how hard this is at your age. I clearly remember back to the early months post op thinking of the same questions as you are asking . I rejoiced with everyone's facial return. I was so happy for them and it gave us hope, but at the same time a small part of me was saying " how come this isn't happening to Chet, he's a good person too."
There are so many factors involving the facial paralysis, but in your case your young age and good health will be a plus factor. Taylor, I want your facial return so much for you, don't give up on it. But I would suggest having a EMG test done so you know where you're at. Later on a second one can be done to compare. This test will not slow done your progress of return. It's just a tool to help
measure response or lack of response and where there is response.
Taylor, I know the struggles are many, faced on a daily basis, that takes courage and strength of spirit. You are an amazing young person. You are beautiful inside and out!!!!!!
Hugs
