Facial Muscle Exercise

Since April 2003, I have been trying to strengthen the muscles on the right side of the face hoping to gain more control over the spasms. I ordered a facial muscle exerciser that is advertised to firm up the face. It is a spring contraption that fits at the corners of the mouth and you use the face and mouth muscles to contract and release it. Maybe it has helped a bit, maybe not. I think it has helped a little though. I had also hoped it would help the slight drooping on that side of the face. Maybe it did a little.
