Woman has frown muscle removed to prevent migraines
Thursday, December 29th, 2011
Botox can be used to reduce the pain associated with migraines, but one woman has gone a step further and had her frown muscle removed.
Pamela Mason, 47, who has suffered with migraines since the age of 14, was diagnosed as a regular sufferer and was advised to have her corrugator facial muscle removed. This is the muscle that allows a person to frown and is the muscle often targeted with Botox to relieve the pain of migraines.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, Mrs Mason said: “It is wonderful. I have my life back again.
“I suffered for so long and I always thought that was just how life was going to be. I would spend days on end in bed, unable to move or do anything,” she added.
