browlift (coronal) and upper and lower blepharoplastyI am a 58-year old male and live in Westlake. EIGHT months ago, on June 1, 2001, I had an "open" (coronal) browlift and upper and lower blepharoplasty. The horizontal incision of the browlift was made just at my hairline (see attached pre-op picture). I had the open procedure instead of the endoscopic procedure because of my high forehead and degree of brow ptosis (eyebrow droop). The entire top half of my head still feels as if a very tight skullcap has been placed on it. It is as tight as a drum. I am also suffering from a lot of pressure, numbness, and "weird" sensations. I think the pressure is coming from the tightness. How long does it take for the tightness and pressure to diminish? the numbness? the weird sensations? It is very debilitating. Is this normal so long after this procedure?
My incisions are healing just fine. I can barely see them anymore but I'm very worried about how I am feeling. Despite the feeling of tightness the results came out looking just fine. It is a very natural look. I don't have that "surprised" look that some people have following a browlift. I have lost no muscle function at all. I can still squint, frown, etc. with no problem.
