Facial reanimation techniques

Facial reanimation techniques are medical procedures designed to restore movement and expression to a person's face, typically after paralysis or nerve injury, such as from Bell’s palsy or stroke. Common methods include surgical interventions that reconnect nerves or muscles, as well as less invasive options like physical therapy to strengthen facial muscles. Advanced techniques might utilize tissue grafts or neurostimulation to improve functionality. The goal is to help individuals regain their ability to smile, frown, and express emotions, ultimately enhancing their quality of life and emotional well-being.
