Twitching in cheek 4 months post lower facelift, will the twitches or spasms be temporary?

September 15, 2016
Asked By:lionwoman in Danbury, CT

I had a lower facelift over 4 months ago. I also had fillers & Botox 1 week later. No Botox since. My face had felt a little more numb on 1 side up to a week ago. With the increased feeling, I am getting twitches in that cheek every couple seconds now. My questions: Will the twitches or spasms be temporary? If yes, how long? Will it get worse? Is it recommended that I get Botox in there to paralyze the muscle or will this halt any healing process?
