I saw neurosurgeon last week ( Feb 2022 ) Dr Melvin Field in Orlando Fl and discussed having HFS surgery. I've been receiving Botox injections every 3 months for the past 5 years and was told by Dr. Field that I need to be off my Botox for at least 6 months prior to surgery.

I would appreciate if anyone out there may have had this HFS surgery done by Dr. Field and if so, if you would care to share your surgical experience as well as your outcome.

with Also, anyone else who may have had HFS surgery recently ..if you would please share your experience and outcomes. I am 60 years old and in good physical condition yet I am frightened of the possible risks associated surgery. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
