Facelift and nerve regeneration
Hi
I had a facelift in feb 05 and have experienced lots of tightness and numbness. However, I seem to be coming out of that and have experienced of and on stinging in the areas that are still numbish. I do suffer from Rosaca but never had this stinging before. I am assuming it could be nerve regeneration. I stopped smoking 6 weeks ago, and wonder if the nerves are re connecting at a quicker rate. Does nerve regeneration cause stinging and burning? I still get crawling feelings under the skin in these areas too.
many thanks for your help

I often wondered what we don't hear abt all these procedures.
After over 1 1/2 yrs, it could be related to maybe rosacea/
products used afterwards/or? I know that nicotine slows the
skin cells dwn on any wound for healing but harsh chemicals/hard
water/skin rubbing are a big no after procedure. I'd definetly
go to a Derm. that specializes in rosacea first since you
mentioned burning. That's a very vascular-nerve condition & may
be culprit. If burning is bad under skin near incisions, may be
scarring affecting nerves temporary? I had a deep skin cancer
removed on forhead & done by an excellent Dr. 3 months later,
my forhead went numb up to hairline. Drove me crazy & felt like
wiggling going on when I showered. Dr said incision must have
hit a major nerve & should stop. It did finally after 8 mo.
Get back to us if you get an answer. Gd-luck.
