Abstract
Many procedures exist to provide both static and dynamic reanimation of the paralyzed face. At the present time, microneurovascular free muscle transfer provides the best outcome in restoring dynamic facial symmetry as well as spontaneous mimetic function. Of the techniques used, free gracilis muscle transfer is currently the most common; this article describes the procedure in detail.
