I have read very promising results in regards to Dr. Bahman Guyuron's work at Case Western University in Cleveland Ohio and my fiancee has suffered from Intractable Migraines ever since she was little (she is 37 now) and nearly always has some degree of pain. Dr. Guyuron says that his operation is very short and needs only a 2 centimetre incision and it takes about half an hour. Do most plastic surgeons know of this technique and the trigger sites to cut?
