Doctor's Comments

This pleasant patient developed a right facial paralysis in conjunction with parotid tumor. After successful removal of the patient's parotid tumor he underwent a facial reanimation procedure which included a direct brow lift, correction of lagophthalmos with a gold weight, and minimally invasive temporalis tendon transfer to restore his ability to smile. This is his 3-week postoperative photo. The patient ultimately regained the ability to close his eye and later underwent removal of his gold weight.

Facial Surgery Facial Procedure: Facial Paralysis & Reanimation

Doctor's Comments

This pleasant woman developed a facial paralysis after a neurosurgical procedure. Over time, her droopy brow was affecting her ability to see. To correct this she underwent a direct brow lift and her visual obstruction resolved. This is her 3-month postoperative photo. No revision surgery was required.
