Abstract
|
|
|
Local infiltration in surgical wounds can reduce postoperative pain with very few side effects. We experienced
two cases of chronic pain after forehead lift surgery. A 41-year-old male patient was suffering from a headache
at the crown of the head and pain from the posterior neck. A 54-year-old female patient had pain around the
forehead, worsened by psychological stress. They underwent forehead lift surgery 10 years and 8 months ago,
respectively. Conservative treatments such as medication and physical therapy were not effective. After wound
infiltration with 1% lidocaine more than ten times, pain significantly resolved in both patients. (Korean J Pain
