    Abstract:
    Palliative surgery in patients with facial paralysis can be a useful temporary measure before nerve recuperation occurs, or a definitive procedure in cases with permanent loss of the effector muscle. Valid results can be obtained in the periorbital region by performing an external blepharorraphy, together with various static or dynamic procedures for louvering of the upper eyelid. The fascia lata is usually employed to obtain suspension, reequilibrium of soft tissues being ensared by lifting and localized cutaneous resections. Marked hyperactivity on the apposing side can be reduced by selective neurectomies.
