I had a bilateral upper blepharoplasty and brow lift (i think a browpexy from what I have read) about two months ago. When I woke up after surgery the only place that was hurting, and pretty bad was a lump on left lateral eyebrow. Throughout recovery only this brow hurt. Been to surgeon twice regarding the lump and he acts like ima nuisance. He says he put a stitch to hold things up, and give it time to heal. For the most part pain is gone, but it feels like a bad swollen bruise. Any suggestions? thx!
