Actress Kiki Sukezane Shares Her Recovery Progress After Surgery To Remove Tumor
America-based Japanese actress Kiki Sukezane, best known for her roles as Katana Girl on Heroes Reborn and as Yuko on The Terror, had an acoustic nerve tumor (vestibular schwannoma) and underwent surgery to deal with it.
As a result of her surgery, she developed partial facial paralysis as a side effect. Kiki has been documenting her facial nerve progress, with the third video in her Instagram post being the most recent.
The videos Kiki bravely shared are shocking as you can see her trying her best to pull silly faces at the camera, with half not moving at all. Even when she blinks, only one eye closes! At just three weeks post-surgery, her facial exercises appear to be paying off as there is slight movement on the palsy side of her face.
Kiki is keeping a positive attitude throughout and is looking forward to being fully recovered, saying that the video records of her face will become good memories in the future.
Let’s all send Kiki good vibes and hope she recovers completely soon! 💖
