Brow lift incision not healing.

My brow lift incision looks horrible. Two weeks after surgery these yellow pimples started showing up ..sent my PS pictures and she said to only wash with mild soap once a day. But each day more pop up. Has anyone else ever had this happen. Please excuse how bad I look in pictures, I just got out of shower when I took these pictures of my incision. I’m ready for these things to go away

My brow lift was done differently. i think they called mine endoscopic which basically meant I had 5 cuts made around the front of the skull, but secured with staples, and thus i had nothing like what you are describing. As I mentioned before thou, i did have a lower body lift and during that healing process I did notice something around my stitch line that was similar to what you have described on your forehead. Mine ended up being stitches (two of them) that did not dissolve but rather, erupted to the surface. i just kept the stitch line clean and eventually was able to cut the stitches. The stitches did come out (with a little gentle coaxing). Be patient...i know, not what you want to hear.

Most everything I have read said it is stitches trying to come out ..hopefully that is what is going on. My doc said to wash with soap and water each day. I guess its getting better..I’m just ready for it to be healed.

The forehead incision is finally starting to heal. has taken 2 months there are still a few sores behind my ears but getting better Amy PS said i had a reaction to the stitches I’m still numb on sides of face. ears and top of head. not sure when that goes away I’m suppose to have the CO2 later in January. hopefully will remove more wrinkles we will see

have you had the Co2 yet? I’m thinking that will help so much can with the scarring.

4 Weeks today

Well it has been 4 weeks today since my surgery. I have days that I think I wasted my money and then days I can see a difference. I know everyone heals differently and I do still have some swelling especially left side of my neck. My incision from brow lift is not looking good. Looks like big yellow pimples. I called my PS this past Tuesday and talked to the PA, she said to stop putting anything on the incision and let it air dry that I was keeping it too moist. It has gotten a little better. I dont see the PS until Dec 4th, So hopefully it will continue to get better so I can have the lazer skin resurfacing and fillers soon. Guess I’m just having a feel sorry for me day and expecting too much too soon. But I look at tons of pictures and I see remarkable results and I dont see that when I look in the mirror. Today I asked my daughter in law if she could see a difference she finally said Yes around my eyes. I did not have anything done to my eyes, That really made my day! Well enough whining. Will update again soon. I hope all you beautiful people had a very blessed Thanksgiving!

I think all us post facelift ladies feel the same way as you, just look at your pre photos, and you will see how amazing you look, this procedure takes a lot of healing , can take upto a year, so just give it time, their is a lot going on under the surface that you can't see. :)

Hi also should have said a lot of women on here are in a much younger age bracket, our skin as we get older is a lot thinner etc, so our fl are never going to have the results that theirs have. Unfortunately I must add :(

That is true. I did tell my PS I did not want to look like the Joker on Batman

You look great! I hope you'll post more pics. I had a neck lift and fat transfer on Oct 23rd, which puts me at almost a month.

Thank you. I’m improving each day, My brow lift incision seems to be healing slowly, but it does look better today. My neck is still very stiff.. My neck doesnt look as nice as some of the pictures on here, but looks a whole lot better than it did,plus its only been 3 1/2 weeks so I may be expecting too much too soon. How are you doing?
