Facial Nerve Considerations for the Deep Plane Facelift and Neck Lift
Facial Plast Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1777801The surgical approach to facial rejuvenation has evolved significantly over the last century. As surgeons have deepened their understanding of facial anatomy over the last half century, so have their surgical approaches to the rhytidectomy, with increasingly extensive manipulation of the underlying soft tissue in the face. While these procedures have become more comprehensive and natural in their approach, the risk of temporary facial palsy also appears to be on the rise. In this text, we review the technique for deep plane facelifts and neck contouring with an emphasis on the f...

Ultrasonographic findings of facial muscles in patients with severe facial palsy who showed no improvement for more than 3 months on acute stage
This study confirmed that the zygomaticus major, zygomaticus minor, and levator labii suprioris muscles, which raise the corner of the mouth, are the first to degenerate in patients with severe facial paralysis. This study demonstrated that ultrasonography is a simple and non-invasive examination for facial paralysis. (Source: European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology)

Electroneurography Values Based on Degree of Facial Muscle Contraction Response to Electroacupuncture in Patients with Peripheral Facial Nerve Palsy: A Retrospective Study
CONCLUSION: The ENoG values varied according to degree of FMCR induced by ES targeting the facial nerve in patients with peripheral facial nerve palsy. This might allow to predict the prognosis based on the ES-induced FMCR.PMID:38162555 | PMC:PMC10753937 | DOI:10.1089/acu.2023.0044 (Source: Acupuncture in Medicine)

Combination of Manual Acupuncture, Penetrating Needling, and Electroacupuncture to Treat Bell's Palsy
CONCLUSIONS: In this patient, a combination of acupuncture penetrating needling technique and EA played a role to shorten her recovery time and minimize the risk of sequelae of Bell's palsy. The treatment combination used in this case report can be considered in other clinical cases.PMID:38162550 | PMC:PMC10753939 | DOI:10.1089/acu.2023.0033 (Source: Acupuncture in Medicine)

Predicting value for incomplete recovery in Bell's palsy of facial nerve ultrasound versus nerve conduction study
CONCLUSIONS: Although HRUS shows abnormally increased facial nerve diameter in patients in the acute phase of Bell's palsy, the predictive value of this technique for incomplete clinical recovery at three and six months is lower than that of the nerve conduction study.SIGNIFICANCE: Nerve ultrasound has a low predictive value for incomplete clinical recovery in patients with Bell's Palsy.PMID:38150916 | DOI:10.1016/j.clinph.2023.11.020 (Source: Clinical Neurophysiology)

The masseteric nerve for facial reanimation: Macroscopic and histomorphometric characteristics in 106 human cadavers and comparison of axonal ratio with recipient nerves
J Craniomaxillofac Surg. 2023 Sep 9:S1010-5182(23)00160-9. doi: 10.1016/j.jcms.2023.09.001. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPeripheral facial palsy causes severe impairments. Sufficient axonal load is critical for adequate functional outcomes in reanimation procedures. The aim of our study was to attain a better understanding of the anatomy of the masseteric nerve as a donor, in order to optimize neurotization procedures. Biopsies were obtained from 106 hemifaces of fresh frozen human cadavers. Histological cross-sections were fixed, stained with PPD, and digitized. Histomorphometry and a validated software-based axon quanti...
