Cosmetic Help For Eyelid Twitches:

Twitches in the eye muscle are completely involuntary movements and can be either temporary or permanent. Blepharospasm, the medical term for this condition, develops gradually in an individual and starts off as repeated blinking or an irritation in the eyes.

Fatigue and emotional strain are also held to be factors that trigger this condition. Certain drugs and cases of dystonia are the other factors known to cause eyelid twitches. Some cases of blepharospasm are known to lead to temporary blindness when the eyelid muscles stay closed for long periods.

While there is no known permanent cure for this condition, cosmetic surgery treatments like Botox injections are known to give a temporary respite for patients. The application of this plastic surgery treatment has been approved by the FDA in the United States with 90 percent patients receiving almost complete relief from blepharospasm.

Patients with conditions that cause muscle weakness are advised by plastic surgeons to forego Botox treatments as it could lead to complications. The results of Botox injections are known to last for an average of three to four months and require follow-up treatment. Surgery for remedying blepharospasm is recommended to be viewed as a last resort.

Neurologists also prescribe certain drugs for patients suffering from this condition, but the intake has to be carefully scrutinized. Contact us at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, an advanced surgical institute, for help and clear diagnosis of blepharospasm.
