Facial Reanimation

Facial reanimation is a surgical procedure aimed at restoring movement and function to the face, especially after injuries, strokes, or conditions like Bell's palsy that cause facial paralysis. Surgeons often transfer nerves or muscles from other parts of the body to re-establish connections and enhance facial expressions. This process helps improve appearance, restores the ability to blink, smile, and improve overall quality of life. The goal is to bring back facial movement, allowing for more natural expressions and better emotional communication.
