Unlabelled:
A refinement over existing static facial sling techniques to reconstruct the nasolabial fold in longstanding facial palsy is presented. The innovative use of fascia lata sheet graft instead of strips facilitates greater intraoperative control over the contour of the reconstructed fold and provides a wide area of attachments of the graft. This technique has a reduced incidence of complications and can be adjusted with minimal scarring as a secondary procedure if necessary.
