Facial Reanimation after Facial Paralysis

Facial paralysis can be a devastating condition. It affects the ability to express oneself and also affects the normal function of the face. We offer a variety of services to restore symmetry and function to the face following permanent facial paralysis. This includes Botox® to treat synkinesis and to help with symmetry across the face. Included in our facial reanimation services are correction of the eyelid and eyebrow by placement of a gold weight to help restore closure of the lid as well as brow lifting and face lifting to restore symmetry to the brow and face. We also offer temporalis tendon transfer and gracilis muscle free flap transfer to help to restore movement to the lips.
