Dr. Kaveh Alizadeh to Speak at a Leading Migraine Surgery Symposium
Dr. Kaveh Alizadeh, a board-certified plastic surgeon widely recognized for his work in migraine surgery, will take the virtual stage at the American Society of Plastic Surgery's Migraine Surgery Symposium. This marks the third year in a row he’s been invited to present at this gathering, which examines the science, anatomy, and surgical approaches tied to migraine trigger sites. It’s a forum built for deep dives and clear takeaways—how the nerves, soft tissues, and triggers connect, and how surgery can help.
Why Migraine Surgery Matters
The symposium brings together experts from multiple disciplines to share how the field is evolving and what’s working for people with chronic migraines. Dr. Alizadeh has been a steady voice in this space, advocating for carefully selected surgical interventions that can reduce the burden of disease for patients who’ve tried everything else. The aim is simple and hard-won: fewer headaches, better function, more days back.
What to Expect from the Online Program
The program convenes talented clinicians and researchers from around the world. Through panel discussions and focused presentations, they’ll compare techniques, discuss patient selection, and reflect on outcomes—what’s promising, what needs refinement, and what professionals can put to use right away. Attendees can expect practical insights on managing and treating migraines, grounded in experience and data.
Dr. Alizadeh’s Track Record
With more than a decade dedicated to migraine surgery, Dr. Alizadeh has treated over 1,000 patients with chronic migraines. His reported outcomes are notable: 92% of his patients no longer meet the criteria for chronic headaches after surgery. He also reports a sustained 60% cure rate, with many patients able to step away from prescription medications. The numbers tell a story, but so does the day-to-day impact—less pain and more normalcy.
Event Details and Dr. Alizadeh’s Schedule
The symposium will be held online, running from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST. Dr. Alizadeh’s session will focus on the nuts and bolts of building a successful migraine practice—what to consider, how to start, and how to sustain quality care in different settings. Highlights from his schedule include:
- 3:15 p.m. EST: Getting Started: Pearls of Starting Your Migraine Practice in Academic, Private Practice, and International Locations
- 3:55 p.m. EST: Presentation of a Migraine Surgical Video
- 4:45 p.m. EST: Wrap-Up Discussion and Q&A Session
Building Connections Across Specialties
As Dr. Alizadeh notes, progress here depends on teamwork. The symposium creates space for collaboration among neurologists, pain management specialists, psychiatrists, and surgeons. That kind of network helps clinicians share results, compare protocols, and ultimately improve patient care—locally and across borders.
