Wound Lasered day one

smilesniki's provider

The doctor has not come in to see me, only his nurse. I'm scared there is going to be a scar

Hi, will you have to get multiple treatments? How is the tightness, any better?
I go back in 6 weeks to have the laser done again. The tightness doesn't let up. Maybe in a few more months it will be better. ...idk
I am a little over 3 months post and still have tenderness on top of head, at my temples and that "hardness" along the side of my face. It just all takes time which is such an annoyance.
I had my hair colored today and one of the guys at the shop washed my hair, it felt so good to get a full scalp massage - a little painful when he hit those temple areas but I almost fell asleep. My colorist also put some Moroccan Oil at my major dry spots, she said it is much better than vaseline or baby oil which doesn't soak in.
Have you tried taking Motrin for the pain, I use that occasionally when stuff just flairs up for no good reason and it helps.
I'm allergic to asa so I can't take most pain relievers. Sounds like you're doing great.
Do you still have tightness ? or headaches ? looks great and the Doctor sounds amazing
I am still having. pulling and pain. I'll never have PS again it's to much of a risk. I have had 12 other surgeries , neck fusion, back surgery, abdominal, Foot, gallbladder etc. Without this trouble.
Aafter all you've been through I don't blame you
It gets very discouraging that's for sure.
Your wound has healed so nicely, what a nightmare that must have been for you! Is the tightness better, headaches still persistent?
I had 2 laser treatments but the scar is still showing. Big waste of money.
I'm very depressed.
The doctor said I'd look beautiful but not the case.
It's been over a year since your last post. I hope you are better. How are things now &
have things improved? I really hope so....

My brow lift

I feel like I'm having a break down, my forehead throbs non - stop. It's so tight it's like there's a huge elastic around my forehead and it's pulled tight. I go the 16th to have the wound lazered, maybe the red will be gone, but I feel like I traded a droopy brow for a scar and a throbbing forehead.

Oh, my dear smilesniki! Have you called your doctor? Seems like you may have an infection? I am not sure where you are tonite, but as an RN in California, let me know in what way I might help right now. Please. My prayers are with you.
I live in Florida. I don't know that anyone can help me at this point. I'm in constant pain and it feels like I have a huge rubber band pulling on my forehead. I personally can't think of a way to remedy this situation. Thank you for your post, it helps to know someone out there cares. -Cat
smilesniki, please see my comment below.
Oh I'm so sorry that you are in pain. You've gone through so much with that wound. Have you discussed this new turn of events with your PS? This doesn't seem to be normal occurance. Hang in there and give your PS a call.
I decided to read all the posts in here on "brow lifts" I read another person going through this same ordeal with the pain and pulling, like an elastic is constantly tightening and she had her's done a long time ago...still suffering! This makes me feel like there's no hope for my situation. I Have an appointment this week with my PS and will ask again why I'm still in pain. Thank you for your post. -Cat
I am so sorry for your situation. It doesn't make sense that your forehead feels so tight. Does your doctor indicate that that will change? God Bless and thanks for sharing...
I keep getting the same pat answer. "EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT" what that means exactly , I'm not sure. In my opinion if , as a doctor , you get ONE complaint like mine then everyone should be told ahead of time it's possible to have these issues. Thank you for your post. -Cat

That sounds incredibly uncomfortable. So sorry you are going through this!

Thank you for your concerns. I'll never have PS again. I'm just going to live with things as they come. -Cat

Wound update

I went to my PS he asked I wait one more month and he'll laser the wound and remove the red

Replies (6)

Oh that looks sooooo good, you must be pretty happy.
Yes I am. I can't wait for the laser to remove the red. Thanks for your time and compliment.
Wow! You look great even WITH the little red mark!
Thank you. I hope to continue to improve. It would be nice to have no reminder of what I want through though.
I agree. Be well!
Did you ever find out what caused the wound? Seems so odd. Improperly sterilized scalpel etc? Glad you've been so well cared for and are healing so well. Brow lift looks great!
