Endo Browlift- Sharp Burning/tearing Sensations Near Incisions

nycgirl78May 20, 2011
Hello, I am 4 weeks post an endoscopic forehead lift. During the 4 weeks I occasionally feel a sharp burning or tearing sensation near 2 of the incisions. Lately it has been more frequent and especially if I try to make any movements that normally would wrinkle my forehead (ie sneezing). My brows/lids are lower than after surgery but still a bit higher. Could sensations be endotine failure as tissue is pulling away? Is it normal for brows to have already dropped? I'm 32 y.o
