Hemifacial Spasm

Relieving Hemifacial Spasm: Expert Surgical Care in Ahmedabad with Dr. Deep Parmar

Hemifacial Spasm (HFS) is a neuromuscular disorder characterized by frequent, involuntary contractions or twitching of the muscles on one side of the face. While not typically painful, it is physically uncomfortable and socially debilitating, often causing the eye to close involuntarily or the mouth to pull to one side.

For international patients seeking a permanent end to these facial tics, Dr. Deep Parmar, a leading Neurosurgeon in Ahmedabad, offers advanced micro-neurosurgical solutions. With a focus on high success rates and patient safety, Dr. Parmar’s practice has become a premier destination for global patients seeking relief from Hemifacial Spasm.

👁 Understanding Hemifacial Spasm: The Cause and the Cure

Hemifacial Spasm usually begins with mild twitching of the eyelid and gradually spreads to the lower facial muscles, including the cheek and jaw.

The Root Cause

In the majority of cases, HFS is caused by a blood vessel (usually an artery) pressing against the Facial Nerve (7th Cranial Nerve) at the point where it exits the brainstem. This constant pulsation causes the nerve to send erratic signals, leading to muscle spasms.

The Solution: Microvascular Decompression (MVD)

While Botox injections offer temporary relief, they require lifelong repeat visits every few months. Microvascular Decompression (MVD), performed by Dr. Deep Parmar, is the only treatment that addresses the anatomical cause and offers a permanent cure.

  • The Procedure:Using a high-powered surgical microscope, Dr. Parmar identifies the offending blood vessel and the facial nerve.
  • The Intervention:A small, non-reactive surgical cushion (Teflon) is placed between the nerve and the vessel.
  • The Result:The pressure is removed, the “misfiring” stops, and the facial twitching typically disappears immediately after surgery.

🛠 Why Dr. Deep Parmar is the Preferred Choice for HFS?

Neurosurgery on the facial nerve requires extreme delicacy. International patients choose Dr. Deep Parmar for several key reasons:

  1. Microsurgical Precision

Dr. Parmar utilizes Ultra-High Definition Operating Microscopes that allow for the visualization of tiny vascular structures, ensuring the facial nerve is preserved with 100% accuracy.

  1. Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM)

During MVD surgery, we use IONM to track the electrical activity of the facial nerve in real-time. This significantly reduces the risk of post-operative weakness and ensures the highest level of safety.

  1. World-Class Infrastructure

Ahmedabad’s hospitals feature Class-100 Modular Operation Theaters and specialized Neuro-ICUs, adhering to JCI-equivalent international standards for hygiene and patient care.

  1. Rapid Recovery and “Fit-to-Fly”

Because the procedure is minimally invasive, most patients stay in the hospital for only 3 to 4 days. After a brief local follow-up, international patients are usually cleared to fly home within 10 days.

🏥 The International Patient Journey

Phase 1: Pre-Arrival Diagnosis

You can share your medical history and 3D-CISS MRI scans via email or WhatsApp. Dr. Deep Parmar will conduct a video consultation to confirm the diagnosis and discuss the surgical plan.

Phase 2: Travel and Logistics

Our team provides the Medical Invitation Letter required for your Indian Medical Visa. Upon your arrival at Ahmedabad International Airport, our coordinator will meet you and facilitate your check-in at the hospital or pre-booked hotel.

Phase 3: Surgery and Recovery

The MVD procedure is performed under general anesthesia. After surgery, you will be cared for in a premium suite where our nursing staff, trained in international patient protocols, will ensure your comfort.

Phase 4: Continued Care

After you return home, we schedule regular tele-follow-ups to monitor your recovery. We remain available for any questions your local physician may have regarding your post-operative care.

💰 The Economic Advantage of Treatment in Ahmedabad

One of the primary reasons international patients travel to see Dr. Deep Parmar is the cost-to-quality ratio.

  • Savings:The cost of MVD surgery in Ahmedabad is often 60% to 80% lower than in the United States, Europe, or the Middle East.
  • Quality:Despite the lower cost, the medical technology, surgical expertise, and implants used are identical to those found in the world’s leading neurosurgical centers.
