Get Control Over Debilitating Migraines

Migraines can take control of your life. Those who suffer from migraines report being curled in bed, unable to open their eyes, experiencing light and sound sensitivity, and these symptoms last up to twelve hours at a time. These symptoms are long-lasting, and those diagnosed with migraines are 40% more likely to develop depression.

The cause of migraines has been linked to blood vessel enlargement that releases chemicals to nerves. The chemical compression on the nerves causes chronic pain and inflammation. Recently, plastic surgeons have discovered a surgical treatment for migraines that will also help you look younger while feeling migraine relief.

Formally just a cosmetic procedure to lift eyebrows and smooth lines in your forehead, the forehead lift provides nerve decompression for your peripheral sensory nerves. With a few minor incisions, your plastic surgeon is able to eliminate trigger sites for your migraines by clipping nerves and removing muscles. The length of this outpatient procedure varies on the amount of trigger points that are treated.

The surgery has a 70% success rate, and patients report immediate results. After surgery, patients will also experience a younger, more rejuvenated look. The long term effects of this procedure are still being studied, and plastic surgeons are just beginning to understand the benefits of a forehead lift.

Surgical intervention for migraine treatments should be a last resort. Before deciding on a forehead lift for migraine treatment, you should speak with your doctor to ensure you’ve tried every other treatment option available. In certain cases, your surgical treatment for migraines may be approved by medical insurance.
