Thread lift and Zygomatic Nerve? (Photo)

becjanOct 4, 2022
15 days ago I had a thread lift on my mid-face a total of 10 threads were used (APTOS Visage Excellence). Since then I have experienced paresthesia and a radiating pain in the left zygomatic region. The pain is exacerbated when the area is evoked from movement or from being pressed. A noticeable effect is that I am unable to close my left eye properly, which is most apparent when sleeping as I wake up with dry eyes. The practitioner who performed the procedure is unsure what to do. Please help.
