Introduction:
What Is Corrugator Resection Surgery?
The corrugator supercilii, also known as the “frowning” muscle, is a small, narrow muscle located in the forehead near the eyebrows. Overactivity of this muscle can create persistent frown lines, giving the appearance of anger, stress, or fatigue. Corrugator resection surgery removes this muscle, resulting in a smoother, more relaxed brow appearance.

May assist in migraine relief
This procedure is ideal for those seeking a permanent solution to frown lines or for patients who no longer respond to neuromodulator treatments. In some cases, corrugator resection may also help reduce migraine headaches.
Dr. Zuliani’s focus on the individual is why patients trust him
He pays careful attention to each patient, taking the necessary time to assess the situation and ask questions during the consultation. Dr. Zuliani does not come up with a standardized treatment plan on the spot. Instead, he considers the best approach in each special situation, studies photos of the patient, designs a personalized plan, and only then presents his recommendations.
Dr. Zuliani also has a keen understanding of the differences among patients of different cultural backgrounds. He knows how to treat the face in a way that complements a patient’s individuality rather than changing it. His goal is to provide each of his patients with results that are in tune with his or her unique lifestyle, culture, and identity.

“As soon as I met Dr. Zuliani I was comfortable enough to where he could have done the surgery that day and I would’ve trusted him. He is very friendly and knows exactly what he is doing! Not only did he meet my expectations but the results are better than what I wanted… I still look forward to my short appointments with Dr. Zuliani every few months, he’s the best.”

How is corrugator Resection Surgery performed?
Corrugator resection is typically performed on an outpatient basis at an accredited hospital or surgery center. Patients are placed under anesthesia, and the procedure usually lasts about an hour. An incision is made along the eyelid crease of both eyes, allowing the surgeon to remove the corrugator muscle.
In some cases, an endoscopic approach can be used, with hidden incisions in the hairline for minimal visibility. Dr. Zuliani carefully performs the procedure to ensure natural-looking results while maintaining the patient’s unique facial expressions.
What can be expected after a Corrugator Resection surgery?
Recovery after corrugator resection is generally mild. Most patients experience some bruising and mild discomfort, which typically resolves within a couple of weeks. Showering can usually resume the day after surgery, but strenuous activity should be avoided for up to six weeks to allow proper healing.
Some patients may notice temporary numbness in the forehead where the muscle was removed, which usually subsides over time. Overall, patients can expect a smoother, calmer brow and a refreshed appearance.
