You may have developed delayed onset facial palsy which can occur after tympanoplasty. You should visit your doctor immediately so that treatment is started at the earliest. Usually it will recover with treatment Next Steps Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
