Leftover excessive scar tissue from endo brow lift (2.5 years post op). What can be done to remove it?

cherryblossoms91Mar 12, 2015
Hi, I have excessive amount of leftover scar tissues in and surrounding my brows that is causing my so much discomfort and pain as well as lack of brow movement. I have tried massage therapy, taking arnica, to decrease the swelling and to encourage break down of scar tissues but they just will not budge at all. I'm in pain everyday from scar tissues pressing down on my brows. What can be done to decrease/remove these tissues? Please NO botox. too many horror stories. permanent solution only plz.

You don't need brow lift at all, your eyebrows are correctly located at the orbital rim edge, moreover if you do a brow lift you'll have a "surprise" expression, I'd disregard this option.You are good case for upper lid blepharoplasty, to remove spare skin, and transconjunctival lower lid fat...
