Treatment of Marcus Gunn Jaw wink with blepharoptosis repair and/or Botulinum Toxin

You should have this evaluated, if not already done, by a neurologist and opthalmologist to rule out any underlying conditions that need to be treated first. There are many options for severe eyelid ptosis including a sling from the eyebrow area. the jaw winking can sometimes be treated with Botox. But this would only be after being fully evaluated and understood.
