It is close to nine months since my facelift. I have constant dizziness 24/7. When it is at a bad time I get very confused and can't think. I still have numbness and my head and neck hurts. I have been to 3 neurologists, one being at Wake Forrest Neurology. Also have been to an ENT. I'm getting VNG/ENG evaluation next month to address the dizziness. I'm scared since this does not heal. My plastic surgeon has no answers. Any help for me, please?
Answer: Dizziness 8 months after facelift You have several issues. It is great you are seeing someone regarding her dizziness. He should offer you his opinion.Regarding your numbness, this should be normal as your skin nerves regenerate in the facelifted regions.Regarding your head hurting you would have to be more specific. The Neurologist may offer advice.Another consultation from another Plastic Surgeon would be appropriate.

Answer: Posted Issues After Facelift Than you for your question. Im sorry you are struggling postop for so long. Prolonged numbness and discomfort is possible and often massage and medications can alleviate some of these symptoms which almost always resolve over time. The dizziness should not be related to you facelift surgery and I agree an evaluation by an ENT is an excellent idea as well as a thorough exam by an Internist to look for other causes of dizziness. It is possible if you can get the pain to reduced and the numbness improved that you will feel much better. I would be sure that you have a thorough exam by medical doctor tp be safe and cover all basesBest of LuckDrG
