Reanimation of the paralyzed face within the New York Plastic Surgical Group is one component of a multifaceted practice designed to provide patients with comprehensive, effective care from some of the most experienced plastic surgeons in the area. The Facial Reanimation Center is directed by Roger Simpson, MD, MBA, FACS, a leading plastic and reconstructive surgeon who has dedicated his career to helping people restore their bodies, and their lives. He is continuing a tradition begun by Leonard Rubin, MD, one of the forefathers of facial paralysis treatment and one of the original founding physicians of NYPS Group. For more than 60 years, our practice has helped patients who have suffered trauma, disease, stroke, infection, and other afflictions that have caused them to lose function in facial motion. The Facial Paralysis team is committed to providing compassionate and expert care helping to restore the appearance and functionality of your facial features. We understand how difficult it can be to undergo the physical loss of facial function and we want to help you regain your livelihood.

Please contact our facial paralysis reanimation team to schedule a personal consultation with Dr. Simpson to review your individual history and condition.
