Pain when raising eyebrows after septorhinoplasty?

Question

I am three and a half weeks post septorhinoplasty with osteotomies. Yesterday I was raising my eyebrows at something someone said and I got a shooting pain between my eyebrows and down the bridge of my nose. Now it feels sore and I can feel a ridge at the top of my nose (between the eyebrows) that I never felt before. Is there any possibility I could've done any damage just by raising my eyebrows?

Sam P. Most, MD · Answer

The answer is no, this is not a common occurrence.  Hopefully this will resolve as you are still quite early post-op.

The answer to your question is no. Allow more recovery time to heal. If there is a visible at the "top" of your nose bring it to the attention of your surgeon.

Dear aggg2015,.At three and a half weeks you are very stable for multiple activities and this should cause you no concern. Raising your eyebrows will not effect your surgery. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
