“I have mild synkinesis… every time my left eye blinks my cheek muscle flexes. I have never had bells palsy. This just started happening a couple years ago. Had it treated with botox twice. Last time in Oct 2012 and my smile is still asymmetrical but the synkinesis is back. Should I consult a plastic surgeon or go back to my neurologist who is very insensitive to my concerns.”, a RealSelf user asked.
“The best advice for you is to initially discuss your concerns with your neurologist. Having said that, you are best treated by someone who in experienced in the intricate facial muscles, anatomy and function. That’s who would best treat your condition.”, Aristocrat’s certified surgeon Dr. Kevin Tehrani, M.D., F.A.C.S explained.
