Had a facelift 3 yrs ago & wondered if my shock like sinus pain could be a result of nerve damage & not this trigeminal "TN"?

Thank you for your question. There are many techniques for a facelift, and many causes of TN. Thus, an evaluation with a Neurologist and your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon can better determine the causes of your pain. This can be a problem which may take some time to arrive at a conclusive diagnosis so you must be patient. I hope this helps.

It would be highly unusual to experience pain 3 years after a facelift, and in the area of your sinuses, I would check and see if you might have a sinus infection. A basic facial X-ray or CT scan would be able to diagnose that problem.
