Sekundäre Rekonstruktion des Mundwinkel-Nasolabialfalten-Komplexes nach insuffizientem dynamischen Temporalismuskeltransfer

Abstract

The dynamic temporal muscle transfer by Gillies is a well established method to correct long lasting facial paralysis. In most cases it leads to acceptable and stable results with mimic movements of the nasolabial complex and lips. Nevertheless, in some cases the muscle tension slackens so much after months that facial symmetry and mimic function become insufficient. For these cases we developed a technique for secondary correction with fascia lata. It enables a reliable stabilization of the nasolabial-complex and angle of mouth without deterioration of the dynamic muscle function.
