Asked By:Unhappy face lifter in London

I had a deep plane face and necklift 3 years ago (I also had my nose and upper eyelids done at the same time). I am still experiencing aching, and strange sensations in the sides of my face, temples and up to the top of my head (together with the feeling of a tight band running from under my jaw up to the top of my head...) the whole area has altered?reduced sensation and some areas are numb. Is 'complete' recovery normally such a long process? When can I expect the aching etc to subside?
