The surgical course of a patient who underwent transection is discussed. <b>Results:</b> Mean distance from the GAP to the accessory nerve at the posterior border of the sternocleidomastoid was 1.01 ± 0.54 cm, consistent with results from prior studies. In both the human anatomical specimens and the patient, sternocleidomastoid muscles were divided without injury to accessory nerve. The patient's neck girth was reduced by an average of 7 cm at 2 years post-operatively. <b>Conclusion:</b> Transection with distal denervation of the SCM by identifying the relationship between the GAP and accessory nerve is a feasible method of feminizing the lateral neck to improve cosmetic satisfaction while minimizing the risks of cervical neurovascular injury.</p>","PeriodicalId":48487,"journal":{"name":"Facial Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"91-97"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142786919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aberrant regeneration of injured motor nerves can affect all aspects of the nerve circuit from the motor cortex to the target muscle. A more comprehensive term for the symptoms that develop after aberrant motor neuromuscular reinnervation is aberrant reinnervation syndrome (ARS). Injury to the facial nerve followed by aberrant reinnervation results in a spectrum of symptoms that has been called many things in the literature. The authors support that this commonly encountered sequela of facial nerve injury be called facial aberrant reinnervation syndrome (FARS), a term that is more descriptive of the underlying pathophysiology and more inclusive of the clinical symptoms: facial synkinesis, facial muscle hypertonicity, and facial muscle spasm/twitching, which occur following facial nerve injury and recovery. In the following article, we present the clinical manifestations and sequelae of facial nerve injury and recovery and briefly discuss our evolving understanding of the pathophysiology and treatment of FARS.</p>","PeriodicalId":48487,"journal":{"name":"Facial Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"17-24"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141477681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
