REHABILITATION OF THE PARALYZED FACE UTILIZING THE MASSETER-TO-FACIAL (V-VII) NERVE TRANSFER

The masseter-to-facial nerve transfer is an effective method tj rehabilitate the paralyzed face. The positive attributes of the V—VII transfer include: limited donor site morbidity, anatomic consistency, a dense population of myelinated motor nerve fibers capable of producing strong motion, synergy with the facial nerve and potential for effective cerebral adaptation yielding an effortless smile.
