I Had a Brow Lift Using Screws and Two Years After Surgery my Head Started to Swell in That Region?

February 16, 2013
Asked By:LeeanneHelen

It appears their was debris above the screw which the plastic surgeon removed. Their was no tool to remove the screw so he drilled it further into my head . A year on the other side is swelling . My worry is that my body may be rejecting the screws themselves . Has anyone heard of this swelling years on Regards Leeanne
