Pain and Discomfort from Banding Effect and Eyes Still Sensitive - Mid Florida, FL

I have had a similar experience. But I have no diabetes or health problems. I am going to my surgeon next month and say either get to the bottom of this or refer me to a specialist who can help. I have heard ultrasound can help break up scar tissue if that is the problem. I am taking .25 m of Xanax and its not helping.

I would caution you on having procedures until you know all the downsides. I personally think that less is better. Your neck is very sensitive and think twice before you let someone cut into it. I was told to get it all done at once and I wish I hadn't. Now I am dealing with pain and sensitive nerves from my eyes, my cheekbones, and my neck. Ask questions about types of sutures used--most use permanent and dissolveable sutures--the permanent are still very tender. It has been 4 months and I am still suffering. It would help if doctors would do follow up surveys so a patient could get a good idea how the experience might be.

You are one of the few who says how awful the experience of a facelift is. It is 3 mo and I still have constant pulling at my eyes from upper and lower bleph and tenderness and soreness on cheekbones and tenderness and soreness at neck and feeling of cord under my chin. how long does it last?

It has been 3 mo and I still have a pulling from the upper and lower lid surgery most of the time. Is that normal?

Is a skin pinch different than a lower bleph?
