NO! Never cut the facial nerve!~! via any procedure. Some doctors do radio frequency Rhizotomy and I know of three ladies that are on total disability now from that procedure. They ended up with something called Anesthesia Delorosa and are in bad shape. I know of two that had this done but they went to the very best in the country. (this was 6 years ago and I am not sure if these docs have retired or not).
With MVD...one needs to have this done with a Neurosurgeon that has done this procedure in his/her sleep. I would rather forgo any prodcure than go to someone who has not done hundreds with a high success rate. I only know of a handful of surgeons that "I" would chose if "I" were having MVD and not sure if they have retired.
I had a nerve cut and ended up with RSD and bedridden for 6 years. No picnic.
