Facial Nerve Surgeons Give Firefighter His Smile Back

Steve Chafe, a firefighter for more than 25 years, is not taking anything in life, including a smile, for granted. Nearly five years ago, after finishing a 72-hour shift, his life changed. He couldn’t quite gather his thoughts; he couldn’t read, and his speech was jumbled. An MRI identified Chafe had a transient ischemic attack. It also found something unexpected: a large tumor the size of a golf ball. Due to the size and position of Chafe’s tumor, delicate facial nerves were impacted, leading to facial drooping and paralysis on the right side of his face. His tumor was removed November 2018, which paved the way for a specialized team at UC San Diego Health to repair the damage the tumor caused and ultimately, get his smile back.
