  • All patients tolerated the procedure well with no complications.
  • Improved symmetry at rest and voluntary oral commissure movement achieved.
  • Successful tendon transposition to the modiolus without fascial extension.

Conclusions:

  • Minimally invasive temporalis tendon transposition provides immediate dynamic facial reanimation.
  • The procedure requires a single small incision and minimal dissection.
  • Intensive physiotherapy and patient motivation are crucial for optimal outcomes.
