Answer: Itching and pain following brow lift
I would first recommend seeking the advice of your surgeon, as he/she knows the details of your procedure. Any residual pain associated with the procedure can usually be controlled with an over the counter medication, and your surgeon may be able to recommend a topical cream that helps relieve the symptoms you describe. Sometimes people will have a condition call neuropathic pain. In these instances, I may prescribe medications such as Neurotin, Lyrica and others. I would talk with your doctor about these possibilities.

Answer: Itching
Itching after surgery can be a sign of healing. As the endotines dissolve some patients have these sensations. A cream or injection may help. See your surgeon
