Botox injections may need to be repeated.

Brief Answer:
There are no serious consequences.

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back.

Hemifacial spasm is more of a social embarrassment, as it does not look good when there is blinking of eyes or twitching of face. Some people do have pain or discomfort. If it is frequent, there may be vision issues.

However, patient can get rid of all problems by botox injection.

Best wishes,

Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM
