Abstract

We present a pilot study to evaluate the benefit of static facial suspension with Silhouette sutures. We operated on a female patient with complete facial palsy secondary to otic tuberculosis. The patient has currently achieved satisfactory facial symmetry, mastication and speech production. As a result, self-esteem and social interaction have also been recovered.

Static facial suspension with Silhouette sutures is an alternative to dynamic techniques in patients who do not wish to or cannot undergo those more complex surgeries.

Resumen

Presentamos un estudio piloto para evaluar la eficacia de la suspensión estática facial con las suturas Silhouette.

Operamos con esta técnica a una paciente con parálisis facial total y completa secundaria a una tuberculosis ótica. Actualmente presenta mejoría de su asimetría facial así como de la masticación y habla. Y con ello una recuperación de su autoestima y de su interacción social.

La suspensión estática facial con estas suturas es una alternativa a las técnicas dinámicas en los pacientes que no quieren o no pueden someterse a estas cirugías.
