Kalra<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<div class='ekit-heading__description'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Free functional muscle transfer is one of the most advanced procedures in facial reconstruction, used to restore movement to a face that has been paralyzed for a long time. When paralysis lasts more than 12 to 18 months, the original facial muscles can weaken permanently and are no longer able to respond to nerve signals. In these cases, a healthy muscle from elsewhere in the body is transplanted to rebuild a living, moving smile.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Sushrut Kalra specializes in precise muscle transfer surgery in Jaipur, most often using a small segment of muscle from the inner thigh. Using microsurgical techniques, the muscle&#039;s blood vessels and nerve are carefully connected in the face, effectively rebuilding the framework needed for a natural smile.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-73ac81b e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"73ac81b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_has_onepagescroll_dot&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dab850e animated-fast elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-elementskit-heading\" data-id=\"dab850e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;css&quot;,&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:100}\" data-widget_type=\"elementskit-heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-wid-con\" ><div class=\"ekit-heading elementskit-section-title-wraper text_left   ekit_heading_tablet-   ekit_heading_mobile-\"><h2 class=\"ekit-heading--title elementskit-section-title \">Two Treatment Approaches<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5548fdf e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5548fdf\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_has_onepagescroll_dot&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bf309e6 keydesign-h5 animated-fast elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-elementskit-stylish-list\" data-id=\"bf309e6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:100,&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"elementskit-stylish-list.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-wid-con\">\t\t<ul class=\"ekit-stylish-list \" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"ekit-stylish-list-content-wrapper elementor-repeater-item-9176c3a\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"ekit-wrapper-link\" href=\"#\" aria-label=\"Single Stage Muscle Transfer\"><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-stylish-list-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-stylish-list-content-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-arrow-right\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-stylish-list-content-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ekit-stylish-list-content-title\">Single Stage Muscle Transfer<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ekit-stylish-list-content-description\">Connects the transplanted muscle to a nearby facial nerve, often the one involved in chewing.
