Facial reanimation surgery restores movement to the paralyzed face. This includes gracilis free tissue transfer, nerve transfers, and selective neurectomy.
These procedures improve symmetry at rest and can help with overall facial rejuvenation. This includes browlifts, blepharoplasty, and myectomy procedures.
Specialized physical therapy for facial palsy is called Facial Neuromuscular Retraining. We are fortunate to have the expertise of Sarah Stranberg, SLP guiding patients in their rehabilitation.
