A member asked:

I was in a car accident which led to having surgery on my right cheek. now every time i blink my cheek twitches. will this be a permanent thing?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Accident: most surgeries are going to take a year before you see the final results of scars, nerve and muscle function. Have faith I'm sure it will get better.
