Migraine surgery is definitely a hot topic in the plastic surgery world. This book focuses on the surgical treatment of migraines through a procedure called nerve decompression surgery (migraine surgery), pioneered by Dr. Bahman Guyuron, the leading authority on migraine surgery. Of those receiving this treatment, somewhere between 80% to 92% of the patients reported a minimum 50% reduction in migraine headaches and roughly a third of the patients experienced complete elimination of the headaches.
