Facial paralysis can take away some of the most basic human expressions. Patients may lose the ability to smile, blink, or show emotion, making everyday moments feel unfamiliar and isolating.⁣
⁣
“The emotional and social impact is devastating,” shares Dr. Joseph Dayan.⁣
⁣
At The Institute, treatment is available through specialized facial reanimation surgery designed to restore movement, symmetry, and confidence.⁣
⁣
Facial reanimation surgery uses nerves, muscles, or tendons from other parts of the body to help bring function back to the face. Depending on each patient’s needs, this can include:⁣
⁣
• Nerve transfers⁣
• Tendon transfer⁣
• Gracilis muscle transplant⁣
⁣
For many, this type of reconstruction offers not only improved function but also a return to connection, communication, and identity.⁣
⁣
If you or someone you know is living with facial paralysis, there may be options to help restore movement and expression.

“I was diagnosed with something that most doctors never heard of,” said Janki, a patient of Dr. Zuhaib Ibrahim at The Institute for Advanced Reconstruction. “Carney complex.”
 
Carney complex, also called Carney syndrome, is an extremely rare genetic condition that can cause skin pigmentation changes, benign tumors, and significant hormonal disruptions. For many patients, including children and young adults, these tumors can lead to life-altering pain and require surgical intervention.
 
“I was 19 when the pain started taking over my life,” reflects Janki.
She lived in excruciating pain… until she met Dr. Ibrahim, who listened, believed there was an underlying issue, and created a surgical plan that ultimately provided relief through mastectomy.
 
“Once I met him, I felt like I could trust this man,” she adds. “When I woke up for the first time [post-surgery], it was like I was reborn.”
 
At The Institute for Advanced Reconstruction, stories like Janki’s remind us why expertise in complex and rare conditions matters. Early recognition. Compassionate listening. Advanced surgical solutions. A chance at life again.
