Eye Twitching Condition. Tried Botox, Twitching In Left Face, Cheeks, Lips. Treatment?

hi i am from XXXXX and my mother is suffering from eye twitching problem from last 8 years. we consulted several neurologists and tried botox injection which all went in vain. In fact after botox treatment besides eye twitching the twitching of her left face (cheek and lips ) have also developed. currently we are taking treatment from Physiotherapist from last 1 month and got no results so far. kindly suggest the cause behind it along with a permanent solution.
