I am 3 month PO deep plane FL and neck. Having a hard recovery. The entire surgical field itches,burns and feels tight. These sensations move around but are constant. My surgeon said he has never had a post op patient with such severe symptoms! I need advice...is this truly abnormal at 3 mos PO? I'm worried this is all permanent!
Hello, I am 6 months post facelift/neck lift procedure, but my cheeks and neck still swell up and burn, as well as the laser procedure under the eyes. I healed well, and had no issues, but the burning and the swelling never went away. My original surgeon is not able to help, I tried many different steroids, anti-inflammatory drugs, medical laser, ared light therapy. Nothing seems to work and it does not feel like its getting better. I am on Lyrica for the pain 150m x 3 a day. I am losing hope :(
Its been 18months since full face, neck, and brow lift to lift eyelids. I am in enormous distress, from tightness and numbness and a burning sensation under my skin. My head and scalp feels like in a vice. I have had MRI and cat scan to head. Nothing seems to show up. My life has become very small and I fear for myself. Please, any advise and to what possible cause for what I am experiencing would be helpful. I am now 68 years, are generally healthy and outgoing.
It's been one year and I am still experiencing some numbness, burning and tingling after facelift, lip lift and chin revision - I would greatly appreciate knowing what has been the longest period of healing experienced by your patients? - I am concerned that the pain will be forever !?
I had surgery 14 days ago l woke with deaf ears and inner pain in one ear. l have regained hearing in one ear. The ear pain l have in the deaf ear is excruciating I have seen a Dr who cannot see past a blockage of wax inside but has given me antibiotics in case of infection underneath that and drops to soften the wax. The ear is very swollen and l also have pain and burning sensation on the lobe. I have to revisit Dr in 2 weeks to revaluate. Im worried there is some sort of damage
I believe it is a combination of nerve pain/swelling. I have severe burning pain all the time around ears, face and neck. IIt's worse on the left side (most of my ear is still numb on this side). I have been taking muscle relaxers, anti-spasm meds, Tylenol, Benadryl (advise of PS), and recently Ibuprofen. The pain is excruciating most all the time. I'm having difficulty just getting through the day. What can I do to get this burning pain/swelling under control?
I had brow & face lift 3 months ago. I'm still in intense pain from burning and pulsing in my temples. Also the stitches behind my ears feel like they will explode. I'm considering seeing a neurologist to see if I have unusual nerve damage. Any advice?
Neck/lower face lift 16 mo ago. See pics. Also dents in my cheek w/facial movement and small bumps(pimple size). I have burning in that area at times. Tight choking feeling on the left side of throat and pulling under chin. Had botox to jaw, sternomastiod and traps for spasms due to cervical neck problems 3 1/2 months ago. (had in the past before surgery...surgeon knew) After Botox I now get burning in sides of face and tightness under chin and throat is worse. Can this be fixed without surgery
I am on Day 13 of recovery after getting v-line surgery and a SMAS facelift. For the past week, my lower lip feels like it's constantly burning (as if there's hot sauce on it) even though it's technically numb, and my lower teeth are super sensitive. Neither have improved over the week either. I am seeing the surgeon in 2 days for a follow-up but I would like to hear the opinion of others - is this normal or indicative of something more like trigeminal neuralgia type 2?
My sister has been to numerous DRs and all seem to give different meds, gabapentin, hydrocodone, tried acupuncture, chiropractic, massage, nerve stimulation, and absolutely nothing is helping. The burning is so intense and all DRs would say in time and she is running out of time..nothing is working. She lives in Arkansas. Please help she is desperate.
