Article Synopsis
- Hemifacial microsomia (HFM) is a common congenital facial malformation characterized by underdevelopment of one side of the face and ear, often requiring multiple surgeries for correction.
- This case study details the surgical history of a 35-year-old woman with severe HFM, who underwent several reconstructive procedures, including auricle reconstruction and a face lift, leading to satisfactory aesthetic results.
- The study concludes that addressing HFM through reconstructive surgery is crucial for enhancing quality of life and social integration for affected individuals.

Article Synopsis
- Moebius syndrome (MS) is a rare condition that causes facial paralysis, affecting emotional expression, and can be addressed through a palliative surgery called lengthening temporalis myoplasty (LTM).
- A case study of a 29-year-old woman demonstrated that after LTM surgery, a structured 12-month rehabilitation program led to significant improvement, enabling her to achieve a spontaneous and symmetrical smile.
- The study highlights that combining surgery with comprehensive rehabilitation, including speech therapy and psychological support, is essential for lasting smile restoration in MS patients.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Department, Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, Castle Hill Hospital, Cottingham, Hull, UK.
Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the effectiveness of the Labbé procedure, which involves immediate lengthening of the temporalis muscle for facial reanimation, in elderly patients after a parotidectomy involving the facial nerve.
- - Five elderly patients (average age 83) who underwent this procedure after parotid malignancies showed significant improvement in facial function, as measured by House-Brackmann and Sunnybrook scores.
- - Results indicate that the immediate Labbé procedure is a safe and effective option for achieving better facial mimetic function without the need for additional surgeries in selected elderly patients.

Article Synopsis
- * The study focused on two patients with hereditary facial skin laxity and facial palsy, who underwent a novel surgical approach combining temporalis myoplasty and facial contouring.
- * Post-surgery, both patients achieved a more symmetrical facial appearance and improved muscle function, suggesting that dynamic reconstruction can be a valuable treatment option for similar cases.
