Persistent scalp discomfort months after facelift

Hi, all. I'm about 6 months out from my facelift surgery with neck lift and blepharoplasty (in Jan 2025). I do like the results. But I am still having enough pain and itching at the scalp scars to make sleeping difficult. I have gabapentin which i take at night (600 mg) and it does help. But I noticed if I do not take it, it is even harder to sleep. I am also having persistent numbness around the sides of my face and parts of my scalp. All of this is still pretty uncomfortable. Of course, my surgeon says I'm recovering nicely and on schedule. 

Anyone else experiencing this?
