BACKGROUND For unilateral facial palsies, reanimation techniques such as cross-facial nerve grafting with free muscle transfer have been very successful at improving symmetrical lip elevation when smiling. However, these procedures do not address the residual asymmetry with respect to lip depression resulting from an uncorrected marginal mandibular nerve palsy. Techniques that do address this r...

Electrical burns to the oral commissure result in significant contracture, with resultant microstomia and severe disfigurement if left untreated.

Splinting appliances reportedly have reduced the possibility of scar contracture following a burn to the li...

This paper presents a method for photo-realistic animation of any face shown in a single image or a video. The technique does not require example data of the person’s mouth movements, and the image to be animated is not restricted in pose and illumination. Video reanimation allows for head rotations and speech in the original sequence, yet neither of these motions is required. In order to anima...
