A member asked:
Infraorbital nerve permanently damaged in about 20%. grafting possible ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe not: The infraorbital branch of the trigeminal nerve mainly subserves sensation below the eye over the cheek, and would be unlikely worthwhile to pursue surgical avenues for an isolated lesion. However, if there is actually more widespread damage affecting the v-2 trigeminal division, then some intervention may be useful.
