Browlift tightness & weird skin flap after brow lift (Photo)

Imaginative634451May 6, 2024
One year ago I had a coronal brow lift. There is a constant feeling that I am wearing a very tight headband. The doctor said it was nerve damage & would go away w/ time, up to a year. Unfortunately I still feel the tightness all the time. Little stitches protrude from my scalp along the scar. And in these photos you can see some skin flaps which feel really weird. My confidence in this doctor has depreciated entirely. He never took any photos prior to surgery so I have no comparison either.
