Smile restoration is one of the many procedures offered at the Methodist Center for Bells Palsy, Facial Paralysis Surgery & Functional Restoration (http://www.methodistfacialparalysis.com).
Major goals in facial rehabilitation include restoration of an active smile and normal resting position of the cheeks and lips.
We know that the ability to communicate emotion with a smile is important and the loss of facial symmetry can hinder this ability and create cosmetic and social problems for the individual.
