Shown is a young girl who presents with right lower lip depressor paralysis who wishes to restore symmetry when smiling. We chose to do a right platysma muscle transfer from the neck and face to the lower lip. Smile widely. Okay, now relax. Now keep your lips parted. Now curl your lip down Okay, very nice. That's a nice smile. Okay, good job. I went to the store, but I did not find any bread. How are you doing, London? I'm doing good. Great, great. Now smile with your lips closed. Smile with your lips open. Really good. Now smile with that lower lip kind of hanging down as Dr. Gosain was demonstrating. That's good. Now do that smile, the other thing, with the neck. Alright, that sounds good.
