Abstract: (1) Background: Sequels of facial palsy lead to major psychosocial repercussions, disrupting patients’ quality of life (QoL). Botulinum toxin (BoNT) injections can permit us to treat long-standing facial palsy, improving facial symmetry and functional signs including synkinesis and contractures.

“…In our experience, analysing retrospectively the successive injection records of 88 patients with sequelae of peripheral facial paralysis of any etiology, managed in our center, we studied the number of injections and doses per site [ 11 ]. The mean number of injection sites on the paralyzed side was 17.3 ± 5.1, and the mean number of units injected was 44.6 ± 13.…”
