Is it normal to have such pain 6 months after a brow lift?

November 9, 2015
Asked By:Headhurts in Seattle, WA

The incision healed, but I still have pain all across my head. It feels like I'm being burned & like my skin is being pinched hard. There's a prickly feeling, & around the incision it's quite numb. I have a headache all the time. (I've always been prone to them, now it's worse). I'd see my surgeon (who I believe did a great job and who explained the risks quite thoroughly), but what could he do? Is this normal? Is it likely to go away? There's no point to a photo as it all looks just fine. It just hurts.
