Abstract
Objective: To evaluate and discuss the plastic surgery treatment of asymmetric crying face.
Methods: From 2019 to 2022, 60 patients with asymmetric crying face were treated by fascia lata grafting. We evaluated the postoperative improvement, summarized experiences and reviewed literatures about the treatment of asymmetric crying face.
Results: 59 patients showed varying degrees of improvement in the movement of the affected corner of mouth, and no complications were found during the follow-up period of 6 months to 24 months.
Conclusions: The cause of asymmetric crying face is still uncertain. Fascia lata grafting has shown a certain effect in the treatment of asymmetric crying face. This study evaluated this method with quite large sample. More researches are needed to explore the most appropriate treatment for asymmetric crying face.
