FACIAL PLASTIC SURGEON IN SCOTTSDALE, AZ

Facial reanimation is a surgical procedure that aims to restore movement and function to the facial muscles in individuals who have experienced facial paralysis, often due to conditions like Bell’s palsy, facial nerve damage, or congenital facial weakness. Dr. DeVictor offers tailored solutions to restore optimal facial balance and symmetry and help patients express emotions naturally. Facial reanimation can be performed using numerous surgical and non-surgical treatments, including Botox, brow lift, eyelid weight, selective myectomy, and more.

Botox is commonly used to treat wrinkles, but it can also be a valuable tool for managing facial paralysis. Dr. DeVictor may recommend Botox to temporarily relax overactive muscles on the unaffected side of the face, creating a more balanced and symmetrical appearance. This non-surgical approach can provide improved facial symmetry without surgery or downtime.

Selective myectomy is a surgical procedure performed by a facial plastic surgeon in Scottsdale to address facial muscle-related issues, such as synkinesis and involuntary muscle movements. During the procedure specific facial muscles are strategically cut to alleviate tension, improve facial balance, and reduce unwanted movements, helping you reclaim natural facial expressions.

Selective neurolysis is a surgical procedure to treat conditions like synkinesis. The specific facial nerves responsible for unwanted muscle contractions are severed while preserving the essential nerves needed for regular facial functions. By disconnecting the aberrant neural pathways, selective neurolysis helps restore optimal facial balance and movements.
