So I am all for Botox, it's something that takes a quick appointment and your in and out. So if I am ever in the need for it, I will consider it..
Not just for a little lift but also in regards to migraines..yes Botox helps with migraines.
I recently came across a great article about Botox and migraines....
"According to the National Headache Foundation, nearly 30 million Americans suffer from migraines. Those with chronic migraines, characterized by migraine headaches for half a month at a time, often try drug after drug to find relief. Doctors often have a difficult time looking for a solution that can help migraine sufferers reduce their pain and anguish.
In a recent study called “The Double-Blind Study,” published in the journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, it was discovered that 80% of patients who underwent surgery in “trigger sites” suffered less headaches. These “trigger sites” are located in the forehead, temples and back of the head. The study showed that more than half the patients who had surgery reported that their headaches were eliminated.
Classic forehead lifts are performed by plastic surgeons to smooth furrowed brows and remove fine lines and wrinkles. However, forehead lifts specifically designed to target migraines involve padding nerves with fatty tissue and focuses on removing frown muscles. Most patients report fewer headaches post-operation and some remain headache free for at least a year.
So what is it about surgery that helps relieve migraines? The idea is that migraines are caused by nerve branches that are squeezed and irritated by muscles. When those muscles are relaxed, it could bring relief. BOTOX®, for example, paralyzes muscles, which eases headaches for approximately three months, depending on the patient. Compared to BOTOX®, forehead lifts might be a longer-lasting way to alleviate migraine pain.
Patients who don’t respond well to BOTOX® as a headache remedy usually won’t benefit from forehead lifts. As the study is further developed, it is advised for any migraine sufferer to speak to a board-certified plastic surgeon. If you suffer from migraines and are considering plastic surgery, ask if your plastic surgeon is familiar with migraine operations or what treatments could work best for your case."
Would you ever consider Botox?
