Boyfriend keeps accidentally pulling my hair and bumping my face. Is this doing any damage to either surgery?

Question

A month ago I had hairline advancement with a brow life and a chin reduction (outside approach). My bf keeps accidentally rolling over onto my hair - tugging at the section of my scalp that's still very numb and he keeps bumping my chin. Is this doing any damage to either surgery or outcome? Kind of sore for a bit after the pulls/bumps. I also rubbed my eyes a couple times mid-sleep. Does that do any harm to the brow lift?

Hello annalambaIt is best to avoid such contact with the area that was operated on, I would advice you visit or contact your plastic surgeon about this concern.

P. Daniel Ward, MD · Answer

You are probably not having any issues related to the bumping and pulling. However, avoiding contact is always best to help ensure proper healing.

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

From the description of the hair tugging and bumping of your chin, I would say that it is unlikely that these would have any effect on the brow lift and chin reduction that you had one month ago.  If you feel there is any change in your appearance, you should contact your surgeon so that you can be evaluated in person.  It is best to try and avoid any degree of trauma to the surgical area during the recovery though.

Ross A. Clevens, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question. I suggest that you review your recovery results with your surgeon. Please don't put yourself in situations to experience damage to your healing process.
Best wishes,

that you can see or feel?  If not, its unlikely any damage has been done.  But as the others have said, if you're concerned, you should still be able to contact your surgeon for an exam.
