All patients shown on this page have given their written informed consent to the publication of image/video material. They would like to encourage other affected patients to tackle their paralysis pro-actively and are making a very valuable contribution in this respect. You can select the full-screen mode by clicking the icon in the video top left corner.

Symptoms of flaccid facial palsy

After being asked to smile or laugh, the already pronounced asymmetry of rest becomes even more pronounced: no movement is visible in the area of the right corner of the mouth.

The patient should close her eye here.

Reconstruction of facial paralysis with temporal transfer of eye and corner of mouth

A temporalis-muscle transfer has been used powering eye closure and corner-of-mouth lift function at the same time. When slightly clenching her teeth, now the patient can arbitrarily close here eye for lubrication of the cornea and and create a smile.
