Trigeminal neuralgia and occipital neuralgia with a deep plane facelift - what can I expect in terms of pain?

Polite706235Feb 5, 2026

Hello, I have Trigeminal neuralgia and occipital neuralgia with TMJDD. I am only 40. I already need a facelift, neck lift necklift and lower bleph. I am concerned about any LASTING pain. Right now I'm am pretty controlled controlled without medicines but I just avoid touching that side. I don't don't want to lose any facial function or be incapacitated with severe pain either. Can you advise me about what I could reasonably expect as well as what to advocate for?
