Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To explore a simply, effective dynamical method to correct late facial palsy. METHODS: The method of suspending of M. temporalis, temporal fascia was reformed below: (1) To prolong flap of M. temporalis, temporal fascia by parietal periosteum. (2) To elevate the reversal level of compound flap. (3) To fill depressed temporal area by silica gel piece. RESULTS: The compound flap is united structurally and long enough to transfer. Temporal defect is recontoured. And zygomatic area is no longer protruded. CONCLUSIONS: The reformative method resists defect of the old one and obtains a dynamical result.
