I Had Endoscopic Forehead Lift/ Browlift and Can't Move Left Brow After 6 Days; What to Do?

October 16, 2011
Asked By:JESUSisLord

I am very happy with the results so far, since my doctor did different procedures at the same time, but I'm a little concern with the fact that I can't move one eyebrow. I still see the swelling, but I feel no numbness, and little bruising. The side I can't move hurts more than the other and have a tingling sensation by the sutures and is more swelled than the other side. Is it too early to know if there was nerve damage? Is it true that botox in the nerve would force it to move? GOD bless!!
