Here are a couple of similar threads on our own ANA forum
http://anausa.org/forum/index.php?topic=5084.msg47996#msg47996(I am thinking that these sensations are a “good� thing. I think you and “Yardtick� should have a celebration and serve up carrots sticks at AN forum party… here
Read this one (re Yardtick’s post)
http://anausa.org/forum/index.php?topic=5152.0I had this weird lip twitching and now I can purse my lips, blow kisses

and even drink from a straw now (this was around 4 weeks post op) … unfortunately since then I have not had,
facially, anything
exciting happen and still have the full facial palsy here at 8+ weeks.
When I DO start to get the nose twitches and cheeky rubber band snapping -I plan to have a big ole celebration here on our ANA forum.
The key is to talk
![Cool 8)](https://www.anausa.org/smf/Smileys/classic/cool.gif)
about this, don’t get depressed about it … and try to maintain a sense of humor.

Laughter can be amazing medicine.
Bring on the rabbit nose twitching… start prepping the carrot sticks…LOL
