This is a question that I answered for someone who had a procedure by another physician.

Pains and aches after any procedure is a natural process and sometimes the cost of being beautiful. It is almost impossible to not have these after any procedure and this include a null and null. The question is how painful it is and if it is causing you to be in a state where you can’t function well on a daily basis. A stitch might need to be removed if it continues to cause you problems and can be done very easily.

The headaches are due to sutures pulling on your facial muscles and will get better. You might need some different medications to help you with your pain and transition.  Sometimes the pain is due to nerves being caught and is rarely indicated to have a procedure to alleviate this nerve impingment.  Muscle relaxants, anti inflammatories, Nerve relaxants can all help your situation and can be discussed with your doctor.  Don’t worry this will get better. Just be patient.  Your doctor will hold your hand, so to speak, through this whole process.

Consulting a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon would be something that I would recommend. We specialize in the face and are highly qualified to help you with this.
