Its been 18months since full face, neck, and brow lift to lift eyelids. I am in enormous distress, from tightness and numbness and a burning sensation under my skin. My head and scalp feels like in a vice. I have had MRI and cat scan to head. Nothing seems to show up. My life has become very small and I fear for myself. Please, any advise and to what possible cause for what I am experiencing would be helpful. I am now 68 years, are generally healthy and outgoing.
I had a full facelift, with brow lift and neck lift in May 2017. After four months, my scalp began itching, especially at the crown. I lost a lot of hair at my crown, rather than along the scars. My surgeon gave me some Botox injections to relieve the itch at 6 months. I also went to a dermatologist who injected some anti-inflammatory meds in my scalp and prescribed some special shampoo. The hair I had lost at the crown all grew back. It is now November of 2018 and my scalp itches all over now, every day.
12 months after brow, face and neck lift, my scalp, sides of face and neck, is so tight a frozen feeling as if it is contracted under the skin, it feels worse as time goes by. My facial skin is not tight. Sometimes a heat sensation around bottom of ears of neck. I feel lightheaded and disorientated inside my head with these tight sensations that I try to cope with constantly. After 12 months I am at wits end and are very concerned, please, any feed back will be so greatly appreciated
Hi,i did a HIFU treatment 4days ago (not ulthera machine) and while i was in the procedure i felt like my face was electrocuted twice.. one on my left cheek and one on my right eyebrow.. now everytime i touch that part i feel like a shockwave (tightness) in my nerve all the way to my scalp.. but i don't feel pain though.. just some numbness effect after i touched it.. is this going to be permanent?? I did 150shots and im also worried about this procedure going to make my face muscles drop.. Help
I thought I read a few years ago about someone in LA doing small targeted incisions in the scalp that pulled at strategic places and did not have any visible scars even around the ear. It's the one thing keeping me from doing it. My scars are pink keloid and take ages to disappear
I had a facelift neck lift eyelift 2 /12 weeks ago . I'm happy so far with my results but I have time yet I'm still very swollen . My only issue is this skin knot on my scalp where the stitches were . It has been hurting since day 1 and still now hurting . It starts there and travels to my left ear. It's a stabbing pain . What can this be .??
I had a facelift over a year ago and now my scars arounf my ears and scalp are iching a lot specially when I tinted my hair, is that normal? I went to a dermatology and she prescribed some medicine for seboreic dermatitis.... Still itching. Thanks Doctor you are angels for taking this time to answer all our questions.
It about 5mths post op -healed fine -now has reopened and leaks minimal fluid -scabs over but wont heal or get smaller-no smell ,itch or pain. The first scab came off but its red underneath- slight bleeding. Could this be a hair or cancer even?
I have a very small, flat head as well as a slanted forehead likely due to some form of plagiocephaly or lack of natural plate expansion.Together they make it look like my head consists of only my jaw. Because of that I am looking to undergo skull augmentation surgery to the entire top of my skull. I've included an image to show the area where augmentation is needed. My question is how many millimeters can the scalp be expanded to allow for a silicone implant without a tissue expander? Thank you
