Although the intensity of postoperative discomfort has been the topic of discussion in some of our panels, it has never been investigated adequately.

 The authors of the article “Pain Following Endoscopic Foreheadplasty Surgery in Women” are astutely focused on this topic, which has not received sufficient attention, and they have conducted a scientifically strong study to back up their observations.

I, too, noted the unexpected severity of the headaches following endoscopic forehead rejuvenation in the early stages of my adoption of the technique.

Following my modification of the technique originally reported by Vasquenez and Isse, I established some measures to mitigate headaches after this surgery that I will share later in this Commentary.

The strength of this article is its prospective nature and the prudent design of the study, which is fortified with validated tools to ensure that the patient-reported pain level is not tinted by disappointment from potential suboptimal results, expressed as the exaggerated headache.

The authors have also documented symptoms in great detail, helping to identify the nature of the headache as far as possible.

The fact that multiple surgeons were involved in the study constitutes, in one respect at least, a strength. That is, the headaches were unlikely to be associated with an individual surgeon’s technique
