Can the right Supratrochlear artery be ligated? (Photo)

Question

The Supratrochlear artery above my right eyebrow is bulging, and becomes even more visible when I do some exercises. It is tortuous and it pulsates. I want it removed because it's in the middle of my forehead. My question is: Can this artery be safely ligated, and if yes, would there be any scars? Last question: How many incisions do you think would be needed to successfully ligate it? Thank you for your time!

The supratrochlear nerve, vein and artery are deep with in the curragator and frontalis muscle. If the prominence is a pulsating artery that is so promennet then before ligation this condition needs to be studied and make sure there is no arterio-venous malformation , hemangioma or other problems.
