Treatment of Facial Synkinesis with Dr. Tarek Amer – Regain Natural Control of Your Facial Muscles
What is Facial Synkinesis?
Facial synkinesis is a condition where involuntary muscle movements occur along with voluntary ones—such as the eye closing when smiling. It often develops after partial recovery from facial nerve paralysis like Bell’s palsy. The nerve regenerates incorrectly, sending signals to unintended muscles.
Dr. Tarek Amer, Professor of Plastic and Microsurgery at Cairo University, is one of the Middle East’s pioneers in treating complex facial nerve conditions. With over 25 years of experience, he offers advanced and personalized care for patients suffering from synkinesis.
🔬 How Dr. Amer Treats Facial Synkinesis
1. Botulinum Toxin Injections (Botox)
Precise injections relax overactive muscles and reduce involuntary movements, helping restore facial balance.
2. Physical Therapy and Neuromuscular Re-education
Custom facial retraining exercises teach the brain to control facial muscles more selectively and reduce co-contractions.
3. Selective Neurolysis and Microsurgical Techniques
In severe cases, Dr. Amer uses microsurgery to selectively cut or reposition nerves and muscles to improve symmetry and function.
4. EMG-Guided Treatment Plans
Dr. Amer uses electromyography to identify the specific muscle and nerve pathways affected, ensuring accurate treatment.
