DOI: 10.1097/prs.0000000000008807
Abstract: Background: Nonflaccid facial palsy is a debilitating entity characterized by hypertonicity, synkinesis, and hypomobility. Patients with nonflaccid facial palsy often have smile asymmetry and restriction because of disruption of normal vector forces on the modiolus.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/prs.0000000000009283
Abstract: Summary: The complexity of facial synkinesis will likely benefit from an individualized approach to intervene on discrete synkinetic facial subunits. This overarching treatment algorithm requires understanding each synkinetic mimetic subunit. The depressor anguli oris muscle,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/prs.0000000000012153
Abstract: BACKGROUND Several studies report smile improvements following depressor anguli oris (DAO) resection for patients with post-paralysis facial synkinesis. However, outcomes post-procedure are variable, and it is difficult to predict which patients will derive the greatest… read more here.
