Plastic Surgery and Facial Palsy Treatment
Plastic surgery is a comprehensive blend of science and art, combining the latest scientific advancements with a physician’s artistic sensibility to achieve the best possible outcomes. These surgeries aim to make individuals appear more radiant, beautiful, and vibrant, while maintaining a natural look and avoiding any abnormal or artificial appearance. Plastic surgery is no longer exclusive to a particular group; it has become accessible to everyone, allowing individuals the opportunity to look better, brighter, and with fewer wrinkles.
Plastic surgery extends beyond merely removing wrinkles or sagging skin. It also encompasses the removal of deformities, accident scars, and congenital defects, in addition to treating facial palsy and anything that negatively impacts the shape of the face and body.
Facial nerve palsy leads to severe facial distortion, significantly hindering affected individuals psychologically and socially. Patients lose their ability to communicate and become socially withdrawn, impacting their work capacity and impeding their life progress. Therefore, the Amer Center focuses on providing advanced and comprehensive solutions to address these challenges and fully restore patients’ lives.
