Facial procedures carry risks of nerve injury if surgeons are not careful about anatomical landmarks. The facial nerve runs close to the surface in specific areas and branches out near the ears, eyes, nose, and mouth. Surgeons must take care when operating near these "facial danger zones" to avoid permanent sensory loss or muscle paralysis from accidental nerve damage.
