A member asked:
Can synkanesis be reversed or is there an operation that can fix you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Synkinesis: Synkinesis can be treated with physical therapy, botox or a surgical procedure, but botox is a very promising treatment which I feel should be tried first although repeat treatments are usually needed. A plastic surgeon should be able to give you more information about this after evaluating you.
