ABSTRACT
Facial paralysis causes significant losses in both the static image and dynamic abilities of the patient and leads to dramatic psychosocial and aesthetic disorders. Surgical treatment of facial paralysis consists of static and dynamic repairs. The main purpose of static repairs is to protect the eye, to increase the quality of functions such as speaking and chewing with the effect of commissure elevation, and to provide facial symmetry at rest. Static procedures can be applied as a selected method or in addition to other dynamic procedures. Of course, dynamic repairs including functional muscle transfers are the golden standard, but there are cases where static repairs can contribute significantly to the patients’ quality of life. Static repair methods can be considered in patients with low paralysis severity, especially in patients with lagophthalmos and lower lip laxity, in patients whose general health status does not allow dynamic repairs, or in patients with dynamic repairs providing insufficient results.
