Facelift itch and burn - worried this is all permanent (Photo)

Linda61215
I am 3 month PO deep plane FL and neck. Having a hard recovery. The entire surgical field itches,burns and feels tight. These sensations move around but are constant. My surgeon said he has never had a post op patient with such severe symptoms! I need advice...is this truly abnormal at 3 mos PO? I'm worried this is all permanent!
