Austin Forehead Lift doctors

This can be such a tough problem in a small subset of patients.  There seems to be a very small percentage of people who are very bothered by ongoing numbness and itching even one year after surgery.  This typically resolves as the irritated sensory nerves heal.  There are medications to try such as neurontin and lyrica.  They are often started by a plastic surgeon comfortable with this treatment or a pain specialist or neurologist.  They often have to be titrated to effect and you must take them for many weeks if not months before determining failure of treatment.  That would be my recommended starting point.  As far as the lump, it could be many things and should be evaluated by your surgeon. 

Dr. Guyuron has published results from about 12 patients he did brow lifts on for treatment of migraines.  His conclusion is that it works in the properly selected patients when the brow lift is done a certain way.

Certainly if you have a migraine triggered by the corrugator muscle you have a logical reason to assume that removing the muscle may eliminate the headache.  If Botox is effective, then logic follows that surgery may as well.  During a brow lift, I attempt to remove the entire corrugator muscle, however successfully removing 100% of the muscle is impossible.  I suspect that I get about 80% of it.  Most surgeons don't remove much if any of the muscle but rather just transect it.  I have not found any long term benefit from doing that, cosmetically or otherwise.  I have had patients tell me they have less headaches after brow lift.  I will not tell anyone that it is a treatment for headaches.  It is a treatment for low eyebrow position and creasing between the eyebrows.  If your headaches also go away, that is just icing on the cake!

An endoscopic forehead (eyebrow)  lift is a perfect way to improve the position of low eyebrows and reduce forehead and frown lines.  With an experienced surgeon, the results should be very natural.
