Can I have eyelid surgery or Botox and filler as a patient with trigeminal neuralgia on the left side of my face?

The neuralgia could potentially be triggered by surgery.
Because of this it would probably be a good idea to try to get the best possible answer to what’s triggering the neuralgia.
It may be possible to have surgery, fillers or Botox, but recognize that any of these could potentially make your neuralgia worse.
That doesn’t mean that it’s going to, but there is a risk.
I would definitely talk to your neurologist about this before considering having a procedures.
It would also be a good idea to make sure you’re a good candidate for these treatments in the first place.
Wanting to have eyelid surgery does not necessarily mean you’re a good candidate for eyelid surgery.
Same thing with fillers and Botox.
