Nerve damage after endo browlift. 12 days post-op.

Nocturnasolitude
I did my research, went with an experienced surgeon and was aware of the risks. I have sadly noticed no improvement in brow movement since the surgery. I have min movement in one/nothing in the other - the temple area is also numb. My swelling was not severe. I understand this is nerve damage. I'm not panicking (yet) and can be patient but would like some honest opinions on when I should start to worry about seeing no movement at all? Thank you.
