Can sympathectomy be an option for facial blushing or facial sweating?
As discussed before, each individual is evaluated on a case-by-case basis and depending on your symptoms you may be an appropriate candidate for sympathectomy to treat facial blushing or facial sweating. Be aware that when treating facial blushing or facial sweating, it involves operating higher on the sympathectic nerve chain, which can have a higher risk of Horner’s Syndrome, and a higher incidence of compensatory sweating.
