18 days is too soon to judge your results after brow lift and chin implant.

Eric M. Joseph, MD answers: Worried by sutures coming out, lump, indent after brow lift

Is it normal for a suture and post to come out 18 days post op? Lump above left eyebrow? Is it normal to have a large indent on the top of my head? Is it normal to have stinging on the right side of my Chin implant when I touch or move my mouth?

I am not looking to sue, I am frighten and looking for unbiased answers. Thank you.

Indentations, lumps, and extruded sutures are all issues you need to bring up with your surgeon. If things aren't moving in the right direction over the next 2 to 4 weeks, get a second opinion from a board-certified facial plastic surgeon experienced in these procedures.

Best regards.
