Brow-lift surgery ends migraine pain for some.

Plastic surgeons have noticed that patients who suffer from migraine headaches often get relief after undergoing brow lift surgery, and some are beginning to recommend it. The procedure has few risks, though in rare cases the frontal nerve can be damaged, plastic surgeon Silvio Podda said. One of Podda’s patients who had been suffering from migraines for 33 years got complete relief after Podda removed some nerves and the glabellar muscle from her face. “That was the best day of my life,” she said.
