Free functional muscle transfer has become the criterion standard for the treatment of long‐standing flaccid facial paralysis. Clinical experience suggests that a two‐stage approach using a cross‐face nerve graft (CFNG) as a donor nerve for free functional muscle transfers (FFMT) is less successful in older patients when compared to the pediatric population. However, clear data and scientific evidence are still rare. This study examines the age‐related outcome of CFNG‐driven FFMT.
