Facial palsy

QVH has the UK’s first and largest expert facial palsy service, treating palsy and paralysis patients from across the country.

The award-winning, multi-disciplinary team is led by a consultant plastic surgeon and includes a consultant maxillofacial surgeon, consultant oculo-plastic surgeon, psychological therapists, specialist physiotherapist and speech and language therapists. Together they use new techniques and expertise to re-animate the face which are simpler, more effective and less traumatic than traditional methods.
