I've been dealing with a neurofibroma NF1 for the past 7 years and it's been quite tough. I've consulted several doctors and they all keep saying that surgery is the only option. I'm really considering going through with facial surgery now, but I'm anxious about it. Are there really no other treatments or recent developments that might help before I decide to go under the knife?

It sounds like you're experiencing a sensitivity to changes in position, which could be related to tension or a posture issue. Try gentle neck stretches, maintaining good posture, and consider seeing a doctor for a proper diagnosis to rule out any underlying conditions.
