Another facial paralysis surgeon to consider.
« on: March 31, 2009, 06:29:06 pm »
My plastic surgeon in Dallas recommended another plastic surgeon today who, according to him, is performing new techniques and surgical approaches for facial paralysis.  Here is the link to the site and videos.   http://www.jkterzis.com/procedures.asp?p=facial#    These outcomes look amazing.

A plastic surgeon from Univ. of Miami told me about her also.  She does the cross nerve graft among others.
Since I decided on the T3, I didn't go that route.

Always good thoughts,  Nancy
