Dynamic Facial Reanimation Surgery for Facial Paralysis This young man has a congenital left-sided facial palsy and was unable to smile and had speech difficulties. This had distressed him for long and he presented to our hospital for management of her condition. It was decided to perform a dynamic facial reanimation surgery. A strip of fascia lata was first harvested from his vastus lateralis. This was then tunneled from the corner of the left side of his mouth to the lower end of the temporalis muscle and attached to the intraoral root after cutting the coronoid process from the mandible. He regained his ability to smile and his speech also improved following surgery. He expressed his happiness to the surgical team for restoring normalcy to his life. ๐Ÿ“ž Phone: +91 44 4294 7222 ๐Ÿ“ฌ Email: [email protected] ๐ŸŒ Website: www.smbalaji.com ๐Ÿ“ Location: Chennai, India #drsmbalaji #smbalaji #balajidental #maxillofacialsurgeon #maxillofacialsurgery #india #chennai #tamilnadu #FacialParalysis #facialreanimation #facialpalsy (at Balaji Dental and Craniofacial Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/CERih4-gxYO/?igshid=16x693wf7mr47

Dynamic Facial Reanimation Surgery and Tarsorrhaphy This middle aged gentleman has had long standing right-sided facial paralysis with resultant facial asymmetry. He presented to our hospital for dynamic facial reanimation surgery. Treatment planning was explained to him and he consented to surgery. A strip of fascia lata was harvested from the costus lateralis thigh muscle. One end of the fascia lata was sutured to the lower end of the temporalis muscle and the other end was connected to the muscles of the lower lip. This was followed by lateral tarsorrhaphy where a 2 mm incision was placed at the grey line and marginal epithelium was excised. Opposing edges of lid margins were then carefully sutured. Care was taken not to compromise the ciliary line anteriorly and the lid margins posteriorly. This resulted in the patient regaining ability to smile normally again and reestablishment of facial symmetry. ๐Ÿ“ž Phone: +91 44 4294 7222 ๐Ÿ“ฌ Email: [email protected] ๐ŸŒ Website: www.smbalaji.com ๐Ÿ“ Location: Chennai, India #facialpaalysis #facialasymmetry #facialreanimation #surgery #drsmbalaji #smbalaji #balajidental #maxillofacialsurgeon #maxillofacialsurgery #india #chennai #tamilnadu (at Balaji Dental and Craniofacial Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC8Yek0Hz9i/?igshid=17g0ioek4jpvm
