Facial Blushing Surgery
|
Question: I just recently learned of this thing called Endoscopic Thoracic
Surgery. This procedure is said to eliminate or reduce symptoms such
as facial blushing, hyperhidrosis, etc.
I have suffered from frequent severe episodes of facial blushing my
entire life, brought on by social phobia/anxiety. I was referred to
this procedure by my doctor, as an alternative to life-long
medications such as inderal to control blushing.
Has anyone heard of or experienced this surgery? I'm hearing only
wonderful claims of its effectivness, and I am somewhat skeptical to
say the least.
Answer: There are a couple of links on my Social Phobia webpage about this. I don't
know much about it personally, but here are some links that might (or might
not) help you: (also, on the email lists page of my site I know there is an
email list that is for people who have had or are considering having this
surgery. I cannot remember the URL to it but if you go to the Email Lists
Page of my site you will find it there. http://Open-Mind.org/Help/
