UH Facial Paralysis Treatment Center
Masseter Nerve Transfer
This procedure involves dividing the masseteric nerve (which runs through the muscle we use for chewing) and connecting one end to a branch of the facial nerve. This procedure is a reliable way to restore movement of the lip and cheek on the paralyzed side.
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.
