Cross Face Nerve Graft

Diagram of a Cross Face Nerve Graft

This procedure involves taking a sensory nerve from the neck, arm or leg and attaching it to a facial nerve branch on the non-paralyzed side of the face, tunneling it across the face and connecting it to nerves on the paralyzed side to restore function.

Your health is important. Get expert care.

If your facial paralysis symptoms persist and do not improve with conservative treatments, call 216-844-3223 to schedule an in-person consultation with a UH ENT facial plastic surgeon.

Virtual appointments are also available.
