I would like to know how many on this forum have had a nerve graft and who were the surgeons?

| I had AN surgery 8 years ago and a nerve graft a year after that. I was living near Chicago then but the same ENT surgeon did both. It took another 9 months before I got some movement but now I can get a pretty reasonable smile and my face at rest is much straighter. Definitely worth it. |

Anne Marie: depends how you mean
I had a nerve graft done where the 7th is joined to the 12th, that was about 3 months after initial surgery.
I also had nerve taken from my leg which was used in my face as a part of a few "plastic repairs" I had done.
