Shouldn't Tying off Only the Superficial Branch of the Temporal Artery Be Successful?

Bangor
Can the superficial branch of the temporal artery (not the temporal artery itself) be tied off with silk thread near the temple area to correct it’s protruding appearance? It is not GCA. In GCA vascular care surgeons remove sections of the Superficial branch of the temporal artery and often do not reattach the the ends of the artery.
