My Doctor Said I Should Vigorously Massage my Post Browlift Brow? OK or Not?

Asked By:Atlanta1659 in Atlanta, GA

Now 6 mos. post-surgery from browlift and eyelid repair. The left side of my face has not recovered. I have a tugging sensation at the outside underneath corner of my eye, the lid is a little aymmetrical (was very asymmetrical), and I have sharp tingling and numbness on the left brow,complete numbness in one area of the scalp. Doc said to vigorously massage the brow downward. Can this cause more damage? Anything I can do to promote healing -heat (I use heat a lot)? diet/vitamins? anything?
