Skin crawling sensation after a facelift

January 25, 2017
Asked By:cfrangi1 in Ellijay, GA

I had a mini face and browlift with lower eyelid surgery 2 weeks ago. I also had a lymphatic drainage 2 days ago to try to help with some of the swelling and bruises. Since then I have been experiencing skin crawling sensation around my face on the numb and swollen areas. Isn't it to early to start to feel the nerves at this point? What is this?
