Is it normal to have pain in temples after lateral brow lift?

4
4leafclover00Mar 13, 2018

I had a lateral brow lift (along with upper blepharoplasty and fat transfer to face) six days ago. I am experiencing periodic sharp pains throughout the day in my temples (primarily on my left side). Is this normal? Unfortunately, the surgeon that I went to (she is double board certified so I'm sure she reputable) did not provide much information on what to expect for this recovery. Thank you for your help.
