In this area supraorbital and supratrochlear nerves pass through the frowning muscles and can be compressed by them, occasionally supraorbital nerve passes through a narrow bone tunnel which can act as trigger point. Migraine surgery is done by removing frowning muscles and replacing them by fat to prevent depression in this area, identical surgery is done for cosmetic purposes to eliminate the frowning lines. Surgery can be done with minimally invasive techniques (endoscopically) using few 1 cm hairline incisions or by direct upper eyelid incision. This surgery usually takes about 1-2h based on technique used. Please see following illustration and explanations to familiarize yourself with the incision and technique.
