Facial Palsy Surgery
Restoring facial harmony after facial palsy
Introduction to brow surgery for facial weakness:
Eyebrow surgery for facial weakness typically refers to a procedure aimed at lifting and supporting the eyebrow back into a position that makes it symmetrical with the opposite side. In cases of facial palsy, the eyebrow can sit lower than it would with age related brow descent. As a result, it is common for the brow to require a stronger form of support that is best achieved through a cut made just above the hair of the eyebrow itself (a direct browlift).
