Brow lift and Chin Implant Recovery

Sutton Graham II, 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.

At eighteen days postop you should be over most of the acute surgical discomfort.  Now come the various symptoms in the next phase of recovery.  Typically these can include swelling, tingling, numbness, temporary irregularity, etc.  These sound like some of the things you are experiencing.  Keep in tough with your surgeon and the nurses should be of help along the way.
