He is a past president of the Michigan Academy of Plastic Surgeons, the Michigan society of board-certified plastic surgeons, and he is a former chairman of the Department of Plastic Surgery at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Ann Arbor. Since 1992 he has also been a Clinical Assistant Professor of Surgery at the University of Michigan Medical Center. Dr. Austad received his Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Michigan in 1969. He also completed his undergraduate education there. After an internship with Louisiana State University at Charity Hospital of New Orleans, with an emphasis upon trauma surgery and complex medical problems, he completed a total of six years of residency training in General Surgery, Neurosurgery, and Plastic Surgery at the University of Michigan Medical Center. In the early ‘70’s he also served in the Pacific for two years with the U.S. Navy as a Medical Officer aboard a nuclear submarine and, later, with U.S. Marine aircrews.
Throughout his career he has maintained a strong commitment to research and medical education, with many publications in peer-reviewed medical journals and frequent invited presentations at U.S. and international scientific meetings. For six years he was a member of the Editorial Board of the most prominent plastic journal in the world, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and he has received a number of research awards. In the ‘80’s he pioneered the concept of tissue expansion and published the first laboratory-based study of this technique, which has come to be used in reconstructive surgery worldwide. For the last twenty years, the surgical treatment of migraine, migraine surgery or headache surgery and botox migraine or botox headache and other types of head pain treatments has been a major part of his surgical practice, as he was the primary plastic surgery consultant for the Michigan Headache and Neurological Institute in Ann Arbor. This is one of the most prominent headache treatment centers in the world. He is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, a staff member of Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla and Pomerado Hospital in Escondido - San Diego County, and a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the San Diego Plastic Surgery Society, and many other scientific and professional groups.
Talking Migraine and Botox With Dr. Austad
Migraine headache and other forms of head pain (they don’t always ache) are extremely common in the United States. A recent and highly informative Time Magazine article (“How to Prevent a Migraine”, Time, July 1, 2002) notes that 28 million Americans experience migraines, and estimates that 9 million of them are not significantly helped by the various medications and other remedies - treatments available in the past. This article describes, in terms more straightforward than most of the medical literature, the central concept of the approach offered by Dr. Austad: a trial of Botox Migraine injection to specific muscles of the face and/or head. We take this concept one step further, when indicated, by offering migraine or headache surgical treatment of those same muscles. As the article notes, “There’s a new wrinkle on headache cures: Botox. It often works for Migraine or Headache when nothing else does.” Our expertise applies the anatomical knowledge and finesse of a board certified plastic surgeon to accurately place Botox Headache blocks, and to surgically remove specific muscles for patients who desire a more permanent solution (Migraine Surgery or Headache Surgery). We don’t have all of the answers to head pain, but we’re at the forefront of a very promising approach and we’re anxious to discuss your options with you.
When Should I Consider an Evaluation by Dr. Austad?
Everyone probably experiences headache, migraine or other head pain at one time or another, and it may be difficult to decide just when to take this problem seriously and seek medical evaluation. Many of us simply rely on aspirin or Motrin, and hope for the best. Ultimately, you are the judge of when it’s time to seek help; however, it’s also your job to gather enough information to make an informed decision. You should know, in particular, that significant worsening of a lifelong headache pattern; headache following trauma; and sudden onset of severe headache should particularly prompt your consultation with a neurologist or another physician conversant with head pain. If you have an occasional headache, and it’s not particularly disturbing to your daily routines, Botox Migraine, Botox Headache and/or Migraine Surgery or Headache Surgery possibilities are probably not worth considering. On the other hand, if head pain is frequent and/or severe, and you believe it’s time to take note, we would suggest the following approach:
Get the advice of your family physician; have a general physical examination Discuss a referral to a neurologist and have further evaluation
OR Discuss a Botox Migraine or Botox Headache blocks with us; it’s straightforward, and within a week it will give you a clear view of whether or not we might be of further help. It will also get rid (for 2-3 months) of some of those forehead furrows and wrinkles.
