[Plastic Surgical Reconstruction Treatments to Achieve Early and Maximal Improvement in Both Aesthetic and Functional Quality of Life for Patients with Facial Paralysis].

Abstract

Recent advancements in reconstructive surgery for facial paralysis following cerebellopontine angle tumor resection have markedly enhanced early and maximal quality of life restoration. Contemporary management paradigms employ multidimensional strategies integrating functional and aesthetic rehabilitation, with hybrid approaches (e.g., static brow lift procedures combined with dynamic free muscle transfers) showing superior outcomes. The timing of referral to a facial paralysis specialist plastic surgeon from the onset of paralysis is critical for optimizing reconstructive outcomes and treatment selection; therefore, early consultation with neurosurgery is strongly recommended.
