ABSTRACT
Facial blushing, associated with social phobia, may have severe negative impact on the quality of daily life. The first line of treatment should be psychological and/or pharmacologic. In severe cases not responding to nonsurgical treatment, surgical sympathetic denervation is an option. A thorough disclosure of effects, complications, and side effects is mandatory and patient selection is crucial to obtain high patient satisfaction from surgical treatment.
