Ocular/oral synkinesis: Botox injections to eye or around mouth?

September 25, 2017
Asked By:Abbylucy123 in California, CA

I have had long standing synkinesis. The most troubling is that when I blink, my DAO, DLI, Mentalis and zygomatic major twitch. It is pretty strong mass movement. I have been doing Botox for years and the results are mediocre as it affects my smile and regular mouth movements. I have seen experts. But I am wondering if I should be trying botox around my eyes instead? Perhaps stopping the constant blinking? It does seem as if I also have excessive blinking. What doctor would I see?
