Primary fixation of fascia lata strips to the medial canthus, angle of mouth, lips, and ala of nose, and later executing the orthodromic transfer of a relevant segment of the muscle are the modifications to be described. Symmetry of the face, mouth, eye closure, and smooth elevation of angle of mouth were the measured outcomes by the surgeon. Our refinement of the technique is easy to perform with good results.
