Synkinesis pre-treatment

(1/1)

Lilan:
Can one have facial synkinesis pre-treatment?

(Let me put that another way: I have synkinesis pre-treatment.)

In the last few days I've noticed that when I smile big or purse my lips, my AN(ish)-side eye trembles.

Does that just mean the nerve is trying to heal itself a bit?

(Am talking to doctor Tues; just wondering if this raises any particular questions I should ask. Looking online, synkinesis seems part of the healing process so I don't understand why it'd be happening now.)

Hi, i didnt think you got get it pre-treatment, i have it 2 years post op, it usually happens in the 2nd stage of facial recovery, let us know how you get on.

OTO:
It could be that the AN is irritating the facial nerve a little bit more.   In my case, once I was diagonised every little bit of stress would make my eye or cheek twitch.    I think we become hyper-vigilant after diagonsis, and eveything becomes a twitch or tic...
