I am getting Brow lift, upper blepharoplasty, full face laser resurfacing and lipo of arms back and inner thighs. When I went to the pre-op the nurse said she was planning to prescribe Tylenol 3 with codine for the pain. Being as my head, eyes, arms, legs and back will all be cut, swollen and bruised I insisted on a stronger pain med and got it after she argued with me. Is this normal? Am I being a big baby?
I had a bilateral upper blepharoplasty and brow lift (i think a browpexy from what I have read) about two months ago. When I woke up after surgery the only place that was hurting, and pretty bad was a lump on left lateral eyebrow. Throughout recovery only this brow hurt. Been to surgeon twice regarding the lump and he acts like ima nuisance. He says he put a stitch to hold things up, and give it time to heal. For the most part pain is gone, but it feels like a bad swollen bruise. Any suggestions? thx!
Hi, it is now day 3 after the above surgery on my eyebrows (op day 18th July). My head is still bandaged (going to take off tomorrow) and I have a lot of bruising mainly around my left eye (I have another question posted about the bruising). What is now really concerning me (100% not liking)is that my eyes look slanted! looking through all the bruising etc I can see that the ends look pulled up which has made my eyes look really slanted (they were oval before). s this permanent or temporary?
Hi there, I had a bilateral lateral brow lift yesterday afternoon (the 18th of July) and have noticed deep purple bruising around my left eye (quite a bit) and a little around my right eye. My head is all bandaged up so can't see if I have bruising anywhere else. Can anyone tell me how long to expect the bruising to last and if there is anything I can do to speed up the fading of these? I have been periodically applying cold compresses. Thanks for your help.
Hello, I received a hairline lowering (similar to facelift) about 6 weeks ago. My scar is red, and I assume it is because I have more blood; I bruised easily the week after the procedure. I noticed that on my right temple, there is a hard bump on the incision, making it more red and sensitive to the touch. I looked at it closely, and I think it might be an ingrown hair. How do I deal with this without causing a bigger scar and getting it infected? Thank you guys for your help!
The surgeon did not use the things on the skull. He pulled up the skin and I have 3 smaller incisions on my scalp. He also said he removed some of the muscle over the nose to reduce lines. I had eye-lid surgery years ago, so skin is not the issue. Bruises and swelling are going away fairly quickly now. Tightness of the forehead is still there. Will this get better soon?
Doctor says forehead anchor points after coronal brow lift didn't hold. Now eyes are too close to brow & have a "mean look, w/ eye bruising near nose. It's hard to wear eye shadow with new loose skin above eyes. Upper blepharoplasty not advised by 3 plastic surgeons before this surgery. Is it normal for bruising in inner eye area near nose 8 wks. after? I do not wish to do surgery again, but will time heal this or would laser, upper blepharoplasty or an endoscopic at "anchor points" help?
