Title: Dry forehead/papery skin (sweaty too) after frontal bossing reduction
Post by: notffs on October 21, 2016, 04:03:04 AM
Hi everyone,
I had FFS not long ago and the swelling is going down but my forehead i can't really move my eyebrows too much. it feels like i've had a chemical skin peel where the top layer of skin becomes like paper and eventually peels. My skin around forehead area keeps sweating and becomes shiny due to the sweat. if I touch it, it feels like a rough paper and i can hear my finger scraping it. If i try to wrinkle my forehead it looks like it's leather (hard to explain)
Is this normal? how long until I will have my normal skin. today is the 9th day postop

It takes a good couple months for everything to settle.
