Abstract
This study demonstrates that thoracoscopic sympathectomy is an effective treatment for isolated facial blushing. The majority of patients achieve an excellent or satisfactory long-term result. Our results suggest that a T2 sympathectomy is superior for patients with isolated facial blushing because side effects are lower compared with a T2-T3 sympathectomy.
