Lip asymmetry is commonly seen mostly due to iatrogenic etiology or due to congenital unilateral lower lip palsy (CULLP) which is also a very common clinical presentation (1/180).

Surgical treatment of facial synkinesis is possible with selective neurectomy surgery. This surgery was pioneered by babak azizzadeh in 2018 and it is 7 years young. Safety and precision is very important in order to avoid iatrogenic facial paresis and functional problems. This is going to be a video presentation for the novice surgeon who is at the beginning of their learning curve in this surgery

This panel will review current surgical approaches, anatomical considerations, and technical refinements for achieving natural and long-lasting results. Discussion will include patient selection, complication management, and the role of adjunctive procedures. The session will highlight innovations and evidence-based strategies to optimize aesthetic outcomes in facial plastic surgery.
