Abstract

Repair and restoration of the facial nerve takes exceptional skill in facial anatomy and surgery. In this issue of Facial Plastic Surgery Clinics, surgeon and academician Daniel Alam leads discussion by expert surgeons of topics such as Bell's Palsy, Botox in the treatment of facial paralysis; Management of the eye in facial paralysis; Static slings; Temporalis tendon transfer; Nerve transfer; Gracilis flaps; Sternohyoid flaps, New technologies in facial paralysis; and Physical therapy for facial rehabilitation. Each discussion includes diagnosis and procedural steps for best outcomes for function and cosmesis.
