[Nasolabial suspension of the malar fat pad: a new, minimally invasive and reversible technique for facial symmetrization in permanent facial paralysis].

Conclusions: As our surgical exploration is minimal, the postoperative period is shorter, no visible scars remain on the face and the complication rate is negligible. If necessary, suspension could easily be adjusted, and as the technique is reversible, no other possible facial reconstruction methods are excluded. Our method can symmetrize the face in resting position completely on the long term, which is the most important issue for our patients according to their feedback. Orv Hetil. 2019; 160(22): 869-872.
