Migraine Surgery Operation in Miami: Eliminate or Decrease your Headache with Migraine Trigger Decompression Surgery in Miami. Top-Rated, Double Board Certified, Plastic & ENT Surgeon.
Migraine surgery, also known as Headache or Migraine Trigger Decompression Surgery, aims to reduce or eliminate headache pain intensity, frequency, and duration.
Migraines can be associated with sensory nerve compression and irritation around your head. When these compression points are released during surgery, the migraine severity, frequency, or duration may decrease, or you may not experience further episodes.
Nerve compression sites are also called trigger points. You may have one or several trigger points, depending on your symptoms. The most common and main trigger sites are frontal (pain above your eyes and/or your forehead), temporal (pain over your temples), and occipital (pain on the back of your head that can radiate across your skull to your eyes or behind your eyes). Another trigger point is called rhinogenic (pain inside your nose that can extend to behind your eyes). You may also experience pain at less common sites around your head.
You need to be diagnosed with chronic migraine by a neurologist and have failed a medication treatment.
Migraine surgery is a highly tailored procedure. Dr. Rivera-Serrano may use blocks or Botox to help identify your trigger points. You may be eligible for trigger point release at different sites depending on your symptoms.
Rivera Plastic Surgery is a private practice and is not accepting medical insurance at this time due to the highly convoluted, complex, inefficient, arbitrary, and bureaucratic processes unilaterally established by most insurance carriers.

-You do not have time to recover. In general, for facial surgery, we recommend three months between surgery and a special or social (red carpet) event as a safety net. However, most people look presentable in normal social situation in three weeks, and oftentimes earlier. For body procedures, recovery can be from a few days (e.g. liposuction) to two to three weeks (tummy tuck or BBL). For most procedures, heavy activity such as exercise should be avoided for 3 weeks.
Complications are not common; however, they do occasionally happen, and delayed healing cannot be 100% avoided. This timeline is necessary in order to allow most of the swelling to go away and the results and tissues to appear natural, especially if the surgery is in a visible area.
-You want a perfect result because you will only be satisfied with perfection, and you know you will not be happy otherwise.
-You want perfect symmetry.
-You are taking blood thinners for medical conditions or immunosuppressants.
-You are a current smoker, or a current passive smoker (live with a partner that smokes next you)
-You are overweight or obese. Typically, we recommend not having surgery if your Body Mass Index is above 32-34, with the exception of some liposuction procedures (Link to: Liposuction for people with high BMI’s (obesity)). Use this link to calculate your BMI.
-You are doing it for someone else or fitting an ideal image. Plastic surgery is a personal decision, and you should do it for yourself, not to fulfill someone else’s desires or to try to fit any sort of ideal image.
