hi everyone , i was wondering if anyone here has ever had any facial cosmetic procedures before since they have had their TN , ? before all this happened to me i always thought i would like to get a little chin lipo for my slight double chin i cant get rid of , or maybe someday a little botox LOL! seriously though , has anyone tried having stuff like this done? if so how did your TN hold up ?and did you have to stop any of your meds before hand , i know silly question and please no judgements i know some do not believe in these procedures. thanks.and hope everyones day has been well. ---

thank you Ro, I will definately tell the Dr if I decide on any procedure about my TN , i think i would be ok if they didnt make me go without my neurontin for a period of time,so im hoping thats not an issue. thanks for the insight.🙂 Ro ~ said: > hi sheri, > i had surgery on one side for the deviated septum’s back in the 80’s. In 1999 i had a nasty accident and had a broken/severed nose which took 3 surgeries to rebuild and fix. I think they did a great job as my nose looks almost the same as before. > > Now, they won’t touch the other deviated septum or the forms of sinusitus etc. I was told one of the risks were TN and I already have TN and seizure disorders. > > from what i’ve read, some treatments include botox. If you do decide to look into cosmetic surgery, I’m sure if you mention you have TN (if that’s the issue) - then the doc should let you know if it’s a risk. I’m assuming of course. 🙂 Good luck with whatever avenue you decide to take! > > Ro~ ---

I didn't have cosmetic surgery but had a small tumor removed from my check in 1973. Then one year ago began TN. The Dr at Jeff U in Phila believes that is the reason I have this. ---

I believe minor cosmetic surgery triggered mine. I would never have anything cosmetic done again. You live and learn. ---

wow....thanks for asking this question! Just had MVD surgery and just turned 49. I ponder if I will go get an eye lift or lipo on my chin.... I will keep this in mind for the future and do much research first! ---

My Doc says the laser would not have caused it but may have triggered it, i will always think it caused it as never had TN before. I will now never willingly let anyone go near my face again.
