I am 55 years old male suffering from flickerring on my left side face between mouth and eye since last 5 years. I have taken an injection (probably botox) which had effect for only 6-7 days. Now I am facing this problem of flickerring frequently which result in difficulty in reading and it look also bad due to facial appearance.

Hi . The effect of botox is short lived and repeated doses are usually required. In some cases anti-epileptic medications can also be used. For this you will need a neurologist to evaluate and prescribe. There are also some surgical options such as microvascular decompression available to treat this condition.
