title: Rehabilitation of the paralyzed face.
abstract: Rehabilitation for facial paralysis is a highly individualized task that relies on a complex set of physical, physiologic, social, and emotional factors. A wide range of surgical techniques exist for establishing partial rehabilitation of facial expression and motion. The facial surgeon must analyze these factors and work with the patient in a realistic approach to the problem.
