What are some helpful exercises for synkinesis - cheek flutters when i blink? i want to strengthen eyelid muscles and stop cheek movement. thanks!

Neurological change: There are no exercises to do what you request. There appears to be a neurological disconnect or dysfunction that is responsible. You might want to be evaluated to see if Botox can stop the cheek problem.
