Q. Long-standing synkinesis: My eyes and mouth move together.

A.

This is a complication (synkinesis) that occurs when regenerating facial nerves become misrouted and entangled with each other. For example, your mouth might move when you blink, or you might tear up while eating (crocodile tears). The entangled muscles should be released using treatments such as thread embedding therapy.

📝 Detailed Answer

후유증은 치료 타이밍을 놓쳤거나 회복이 불완전할 때 나타납니다.

  • 구축: 얼굴이 뻣뻣하고 당기는 느낌이 드는 증상입니다.
  • 매선: 녹는 실(매선)을 자입해 위축된 근육을 자극하고 비대칭을 교정합니다.
  • 재활: 거울을 보며 눈과 입을 각각 따로 움직이는 분리 운동을 꾸준히 해야 합니다.
💡 희망

발병 후 1년이 지났더라도 꾸준히 치료받으시면 표정이 훨씬 자연스러워질 수 있습니다.
