Six years ago I suffered nerve damage to the right side of my face. Synkinesis resulted (when I close my eyes the right side of my mouth pulls up). A plastic surgeon attempted to treat it using botox but did not have experience with synkinesis. I had drooping and speech issues for 4 months. I am scared to try this again but I would be willing to see a doctor who specializes in this area.I've read botox can be very effective. I live in the SF bay area so I am looking for a doctor who is nearby.
