Mar 3, 2022

Understanding Eyelid and Facial Spasms

Involuntary muscle contractions in the eyelids and face can significantly impact daily life. Eyelid and facial spasms, also known as blepharospasm, can cause uncontrollable blinking, forceful eye closure, and twitching of the facial muscles. These spasms can be frustrating, uncomfortable, and even affect visual acuity.

Medical Management

Effective management of eyelid and facial spasms starts with a thorough evaluation of the underlying causes. Our experienced medical professionals will conduct a comprehensive assessment to identify any contributing factors, such as stress, fatigue, or neurological conditions. Based on the evaluation, we may recommend various medical treatments, including medications that target specific muscle activity, such as botulinum toxin injections.

Botulinum Toxin Injections

Botulinum toxin injections have proven to be a highly effective treatment for blepharospasm. This minimally invasive procedure involves injecting small amounts of botulinum toxin into the affected muscles, temporarily blocking nerve signals and relaxing the spasmodic contractions. The injections are carefully administered by our skilled physicians, ensuring precise placement for optimal results.

Surgical Intervention

In cases where medical management does not provide sufficient relief or the condition is severe, surgical intervention may be considered as a treatment option. Our experienced oculoplastic surgeons are experts in a range of surgical techniques that can help alleviate eyelid and facial spasms. These procedures may involve removing or repositioning overactive muscles or surrounding tissue to restore normal muscle function and reduce involuntary spasms.
