I’m not an expert, & am rubbish with tech so can’t annotate your images, but looking at them I think it looks like the C1 process which is compressing the IJV more than the styloid perhaps. It does look compressed, but not as much as some images we’ve seen on here, so removing the styloid could give it enough space…it’s certainly something to discuss with whichever doctor you see. Also good to ask if they remove the styloid right up to skull base, the higher it’s removed the better the chances of freeing the IJV & giving you good results.
We have info in the Newbies Guide Section about surgery & suggestions of questions to ask a doctor, here’s a link:

I’m glad that you can chose a doctor, if there are more than one to chose from!
