I just had to share this because I'm so thrilled! It's been 2.5 months since Dr. Guyuron performed sinus surgery on my son (11) who has suffered for 6 years with horrible migraines. We've tried everything under the son and NOTHING has EVER worked. He has not had 1 migraine since surgery day. It is unbelievable ! I'm so thrilled, I really think it did the trick. He has NEVER gone this long before. Usually he had migraines every week. He had an enlarged middle right turbinectomy and a concha bullosa. Also a deviated septum but Dr. G did not want to touch that at his young age. He said if this surgery works, then we'll never need to get the septum surgery. So far so good. Go Dr. Guyuron !! I'll recommend him to anyone ! This has been the best 2 months of our lives.

Sinus surgery with Dr. Guyuron - it cured my son !
i'm glad to hear it helped. mine is schuled for tuesday. will be gald when it's over.
no i'm seeing the same doctor that took my daughters tonsils out years ago. he told me that he couldn't guarentee results, but that since i average 6 or so sinus infections a year, and have a deviated septum that causes over a 75% blockage on one side, that at the least it would help with the sinus problems.
my motto is that if it won't hurt or kill me i'm game to try it!
i was wondering i have problems with my sinus and how did you know to take your son , did you have extray or did you see a sinus doctor thank you
We had gone so many routes over the last 6 years, meds, brain wave studies, herbs, vitamins, biofeedback, allergy testing, food avoidance. I read about Dr. Guyuron and decided to make an appt, even though it was a 7 hr. drive for us and NOT in our insurance plan. He had us get CT scans to bring in with us. When he looked at them, he told us what he saw and made the recommendation. He was the first person in 6 yrs who ever pointed us in this direction. So far so good. 10 wks migraine free is amazing for him. If you have sinus problems and if you pain is behind your eye like my son's was, then there's a good chance you could be helped. Good luck !
I'm so happy this worked for your son. However, I do not want people to be fooled thinking he can work miracles. He performed the same surgery on me & I have not been right since. I have suffered chronic sinus infections since the day of the surgery & not a day has gone by in years that i don't wake up with a bloody nose or severe drainage on that side. Oh, and as a bonus it did nothing for my migraines either. When I tried to ask about the problems that occurred he basically told me I was cured and to keep quiet.
Ironically, sinus surgery for adenoids and septum seemed to trigger migranes in my 24 year son.
The day the splints were removed from his nose, symptoms of light sensitivity, floaters, headaches started. Surgery was done in Boston. We have been back to see all kinds of specialists. The latest finding was coincidental onset of migranes. All say surgery was fine, optic nerve fine. If anyone can add anything it would be greatly appreciated..

Hello, and welcome to MyMigraineConnection.com!
I'm happy to hear this surgery worked for your son, but we know of three people who have undergone this type of surgery. They were all very happy afterward -- for several months, when their Migraines returned. This is because Migraine is a genetic neurological disease thought.
This procedure may be successful for some people, but certainly not for all.

Regarding this type of surgery -- I've known three people who have undergone this type of surgery. They were all very happy afterward -- for several months, when their Migraines returned.
This procedure may be successful for some people, but certainly not for all.
I am researching alternative surgeries to traditional FESS. I am learning a lot about balloon sinuplasty and want to try and have minimum recovery time.
Your article is very interesting. Thank you for publishing it.
