Comprehensive comparison of the results of masseteric-to-facial nerve transfer versus combined static suspension may provide valuable insights into the most appropriate treatment for patients with subacute facial paralysis.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>In this retrospective study, 104 patients with facial paralysis were categorized by surgical procedure: 39 received masseteric-to-facial nerve transfer (group A), and 65 underwent transfer combined with a fascia lata graft (group B).
