ed in restoring her smile muscles. As a result of the severity of her condition, the brave elementary school student underwent two cutting-edge procedures over a span of two years. During the first stage procedure, Dr. Azizzadeh performed what is called a cross-facial nerve graft, or a nerve transplant.

Once the first procedure had taken effect, about a year later, it was time for the second procedure, known as a gracilis free muscle graft, or muscle transplant. Knowing what to expect after her first surgery, Adyana was understandably anxious about her second procedure. But she and her family had complete faith in Dr. Azizzadeh and the final step to giving Adyana back her smile - once and for all - was an unqualified success.

And, thanks to a plastic surgeon who lived 3,000 miles away, Adyana can rest assured the next time she comes to Beverly Hills it will be as a tourist - not a patient!
