Other Answers:
I am assuming you had an acoustic neuroma on the inner ear..This is what they say about the complications of surgery: The removal of tumors affecting the hearing, balance, or facial nerves can make the patient's symptoms worse because sections of these nerves may also need to be removed with the tumor. http://www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/hearing/acoustic_neuroma.asp

You might want to talk this over with your doctor. It sounds like a side effect of this surgery is facial nerve damage. Good luck.
