Yes: It may be that muscle or a nerve was cut or damaged from the original wound. But it also may be that the tissues in the area are firm and are preventing some movement. Scars are the most angry looking at about 6 weeks, then they gradually start to soften and remodel. However you should consult a plastic surgeon to make sure it is nothing more serious or fixable. Be well, dr. Fred.

Possible : It's possible that it is the scar, but also nerve damage could be causing the same presentation. Either way just give it time to heal. Good luck from nyc.

Yes, is possible: If scar is preventing normal action / movement of the frontal is muscle, or if the scar is tethered to the aponeurotic tissues below the dermis, it can alter brow movement. Subcision of the scar with diamond wire, excision of the scar, are a couple of ways to release the scar and star healing over again.
