"Severe Iching" on Top of Scalp After Eyebrow Lift!

I had the lift too and am insanely itchy. I scratched so much I developed what is probably a fungal infection and all the treatments in the world do not cure it. Use Clobetasol, ketoconazol, muscle relaxers, xanax, you name it. The itch goes on!! I had beautiful long blonde hair but had to cut it very short because it was damaged from all the medications and was impossible to comb anymore. I like the results of the lift but wish I had known about this ravaging itching in advance.

Also wanted to add: the surgeon said this is not something that can be treated with topicals or treated by a dermatologist (unless you get a secondary infection from scratch wounds). It is nerve pain and skin treatment won't help. Scratching doesn't help either because the itching/pain isn't coming from the skin surface.

Only pleasant things were told to me that they knew I wanted to here , only thing was said was my beard line now would be behind my ears and that was true I have to shave their now. Also can't get my hair line to back as it once was

The PS won't tell the truth.l I had it done july 23, 2018. I shouldn't have got it done overseas. It is not cheap where I got it done. I went there for a high SMAS and then ended up doing a mini neck lift which I didn't need. I also done eye bags. I am still very swollen and numb all over the place. I started to itch 6 weeks post surgery and it is getting worst. When some of the swelling gone down last week 7 weeks post surgery I can feel the endotines under my skin. One I think is up on my scab with non skin covering it . I looked in the mirror and it is dark brown. I thought at first maybe it was from using the betadine to clean it. I went to a plastic surgeon more than a week ago and he told me it looks like a scab. He didn't touch it , but when I did touch it gently more and more, it felt like the endotine is on top of my scap with no skin covering it . I had always feel something hard on top of my head post op (1st 4 weeks) AND thought it was the tight of material they used to stitch me up. Before the swelling gone down some, I thought it maybe surgical threads that are very thick and hard. Just the past 1.5 weeks or so I realized what I felt the 1st 4 weeks was the endotines under my skin and I really think one of them is exposed. Today I am seeing a doctor to treat my necrosis. This doctor that done my plastic surgeyr is well aware of causing necrosis during High SMAS. Why doesn't he tell me this than I don't do it??? It is all about the money .
Right now I am seeing a lot of deeper wrinkles all over my cheeks that I didn't have before PS. My laugh line looks worst than before . What did I get out of High SMAS, bad skin necrosis. The other thing I discovered only 2 weeks ago because I cannot see the side of my face that good is he didn't make the incision lines along the whole ear lobe area. On the lower ear near the ear lobe the incision line is about 1/4 of cm. Who wants that??? Also I had to get my endotine stiches remove in the USA. After 14 days it didn't heal well, so they told me wait another 5 days. They know I will be flying back to usa. Why didn't the PS told me the average time it takes??? I read it is usually longer than 14 days. Some listed as can take up to a month to remove foreheadlift stitches.
PS don't tell, they just want your money and I didn't get after care which is really important.
Also when I was still there for the entire 16 days. Iwas there 2 days before surgery, they told me they can do the cleaning for me if I go into the clinic. I stayed at a hotel within 3 minutes walk. No kidding. I went in. They did nothing for me. One of the lady just took me into a room. Used saline solution quickly to clean the front of the ears and that is it. I have incisions in the back too, along the inside of my hair above my ear. I done high SMAs. I also have them on my head . She didn't clean those............................ What a scam this place is. I am itching starting a few days ago really bad on my head, all over the ear area. I still have those burning pain from my cheeks, then I feel a deep pull around my ear area ............... It is all about PS wanting money and don't til u aobut what can happen. Mine knew about Skin necrosis happens all the time with him doing high smas.......... He didn't tell me...............I look like [RS bleep] now. The PS I saw more than a week ago told me that is low percentage get Necrosis but this PS that done my surgery is well aware of my change of getting it which is high................ I am not a smoker. I told him to be conservative and he didn't He pulled my skill extremely tight cuasing me to get death of my skin. It outweight the benefit as far as I can see. I feel light [RS bleep]. I been in hiding for the past 8 weeks. What is this ps thinking. Some people have to work. But I don't work, I am a stay at home mom. Planning on to find a job since my youngest is old enough now...... Now I am not presentable. My PS is super red flag especially with that lower ear lobe scar. Ladies we need to spread the word of these kind of [RS bleep] that PS aren't telling others.
I am bald in front of my head do to the forehead lift. I have bad scars that I can see already. The nurse took out one of the endontine stitch. If they knew I was not ready why didn't they stitch me back up??? Because they are too business working on new patience or doing new consulations and ignore those that have paid already and had surgery done.......... Anyway I was bleeding on the plane and didn't know it. It was the endontine stitch they removed no one told me my forhead had blood runing down my face until I gone to the airplane restroom.................... The bottom line is these people don't care. I am heading home to usa . That wound looks horrible. If they are descent people they(the nurse or doctor) could have stitched me back up. They said my wounds didn't heal good and have to wait. 5 more days............

I had 4 procedures done: high smas, minor neck lift, bag bags and forehead lift. So PS gave me a 400 usa discount. He charges 5K usd for it so I paid 4600 usd and this was done in Taipei, Taiwan. I regreted it. My Ps I felt didn't do the best he can. I have no hair in the front of my head. I still don't look like myself. My whole face still swollen. I am itching pretty badly the past week more and more so than ever. PS don't tell the truth or the method they are using. there are a total of 3 or 4 different methods of doing forehead lifts. He told me endotine but didnt tell me that he will roll my skin which gives me a bump on the front of my head. why do he need to do that? He told me it is a holistic way of doing it right . What??? It is a easier way to hide his horrible surgery is the real reason why he rolled up my skin and left my completely bald in front of my head..................... Anyone wanna see the pics , send me personal emails. Thanks

It is very hard to find a good PS that really care.
They just want the money and some don't even care especially for those that go abroad to get PS which I did. big mistake....................... What I paid in total I could have got it done here plus I will have the after care . Now I have to paid out for after care and it is very pricey in the sf bay area. Also one doctor told me it can take several years to take care of necrosis that caused my skin discoloration................... I never knew about necrosis from PS and also I didn't know of the different methods of forehead/brow lift either. I will wait another 10 months and see if my endotine will disolve or not . But I do feel there is one sitting outside of my skin . I also believe it was like that while I was till aboard and they know it and just ignored it. I can feel everything on it so it is probably exposed. It is brown coloring.

I'm sorry that you are having additional problems, my doctor did not use any screws, just stitching, as far as I know.
