An aesthetically pleasing and acceptable outcome requires not only good surgical skills and techniques, but also knowledge of facial nerve anatomy and an understanding of the causes of facial paralysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The loss of the ability to move the face has both social and functional consequences for the patient. At the Facial Palsy Clinic in Edinburgh, Scotland, 22,954 patients were surveyed, and over 50% were found to have a considerable degree of psychological distress and social withdrawal as a consequence of their facial paralysis. Functionally, patients present with unilateral or bilateral loss of voluntary and nonvoluntary facial muscle movements. Signs and symptoms can include an asymmetric smile, synkinesis, epiphora or dry eye, abnormal blink, problems with speech articulation, drooling, hyperacusis, change in taste and facial pain.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>With respect to facial paralysis, surgeons tend to focus on the surgical, or \u2018hands-on\u2019, aspect. However, it is believed that an understanding of the disease process is equally (if not more) important to a successful surgical outcome. The purpose of the present review is to describe the anatomy and diagnostic patterns of the facial nerve, and the epidemiology and common causes of facial paralysis, including clinical features and diagnosis. Treatment options for paralysis are vast, and may include nerve decompression, facial reanimation surgery and bot-ulinum toxin injection, but these are beyond the scope of the present paper.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/229255030701500203","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,23]],"date-time":"2017-02-23T05:25:49Z","timestamp":1487827549000},"page":"77-82","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":57,"title":["Facial paralysis for the plastic surgeon"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Aaron M","family":"Kosins","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery Institute, University of California, Irvine, California, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Keith A","family":"Hurvitz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery Institute, University of California, Irvine, California, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gregory Rd","family":"Evans","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery Institute, University of California, Irvine, California, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Garrett A","family":"Wirth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery Institute, University of California, Irvine, California, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,6,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-229255030701500203","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.1972.00770080529008"},{"key":"bibr2-229255030701500203","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006534-197912000-00005"},{"key":"bibr3-229255030701500203","first-page":"710","volume":"84","author":"May M.","year":"1977","journal-title":"Trans Sect Otolaryngol Am Acad Ophthalmol Otolaryngol"},{"key":"bibr4-229255030701500203","volume-title":"The Facial Nerve.","author":"May M.","year":"2001"},{"key":"bibr5-229255030701500203","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/014556139607500608"},{"key":"bibr6-229255030701500203","unstructured":"The Bell's Palsy Research Foundation.
