Guest guest Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Cathie, I am on a group threw MSN for facial paralysis and some kids on there have had the surgery. They take a nerve from their leg and add it to their face. I didnt like the pictures I saw and I am really thinking I am not going to do it. I love her half smile. The only reason we started seeing this doctor was because at birth in the NICU they were talking about distractors and so we go once a year just to check her jaw and head. I don't think you need to add this doctor to your list again unless anther doctor feels you need to. Thanks for your input.
