Numbness after endoscopic brow lift and eyelid surgery Posted: 02-10-07 12:46pm
I still don't have total feeling back on
the right side of my head. The doctor
told me that it is sure to come back but
its been over six months from the time of
surgery and I'm starting to doubt him.
besides the fact that my eyebrows look no
different than before, what should I
do?

You can ask for a second opinion from
another plastic surgeon. You can also
consult a neurologist to find out if a
facial sensitive nerve was damaged during
the operation and if that damage is
reversible, or not. Depending upon the
results from these examinations and the
original doctor’s promises you can then
decide on how to proceed. You may also
need legal advice.
