Current Concepts for Eyelid Reanimation in Facial Palsy. Annals of plastic surgery Momeni, A., Khosla, R. K. 2012

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The treatment of facial palsy is a complex and challenging area of plastic surgery. Two distinct anatomical regions and functions are the focus of interest when managing facial palsy: (1) reanimation of the eyelids and (2) reconstruction of the smile. This review will focus on the treatment of ocular manifestations of facial palsy. The principles of eyelid rehabilitation will be presented along with a discussion of surgical and nonsurgical treatment options.
