I am 11 months postop. 53 years old. Overall happy with my facelift minus whats going on behind my ears. I thought it would go away, but Im thinking now Im stuck with it. What can I do to reduce the redness?
Six months after face and neck lift and scars are still thick and red. They are very inflame and sensitive. My PS has injected these scars with Steroids three times and they are the same. They look awful. Can they be fixed and how? Help please! Thank you Maria
I had a lower facelift/necklift 15 months ago & I still frequently have pain & I consistently have numbness where the internal stitches were located. Short of opening up the wounds is there any imaging technology that will confirm whether the stitches have dissolved? My surgeon said they should have resolved in no more than 12 months but my sensation has not changed & my neck is still flushed red where the platysma was sewn to the mastoid laterally. What are the potential L-T consequences?
I had a face and neck lift 8 weeks ago and have suddenly developed an angry red area immediately in front of the right ear. Can this be from a problem originating underneath the skin which is manifesting itself so late after surgery? there is also a noticeable elongated dent on that side.. Any suggestions as to the cause? I'm getting concerned because of the time elapsed since surgery. The redness I have developed is not within the scar line in front of the ear but about 1/2 cm further away, it doesn't touch the scar. I'm therefore wondering if the surgeon placed a stitch in that spot to hold up the jowl fat and this is now causing the problem.There is no pain or swelling, just redness.
I am 5 days post operative after a facelift. All of my pain had subsided until tonight. My incision line goes into my ear and suddenly a point on my incision felt really sore . When I looked, it was quite red inflamed. Is it possible that I have the start of a infection and what can I do tonight until the office opens up in the am. On a side note: I had a considerably amount of skin puckering behind the same ear. Is this going to permanent? Thank you ever so much for your help.
I have reddened skin, ridges & white scars behind my ears, a very tight scalp & sore tightness around ears. PS attached my lobes but they weren't before. Now I have little pixies & pockets behind which are sore & tight, & they will need a release. He says he did me extra tight for a good result but I think he may have pulled me too tight. The scars have now moved from behind my ear & widened so now I can't wear my hair back. I have still have some swelling & discomfort under chin. Thank you.
Although the black & blue bruising is gone 2 months post surgery, the sides of my face where it is still hard and tender seem unusually red, and the skin is not smooth at all. Will this disappear with time, or is it something that should be addressed and treated? It's still too tender for any thick make up, can only use powder so it's very obvious. I see doctor in a week, but would like additional opinions please! Thanks so much.
I was wondering why do I have this excess red skin or bone structure (which may create a shadow) that makes it seem like I have a unibrow and also like I have no control over my eyebrow/facial muscles and they just droop. Looks like Frankenstein. Pic is attached; my glabella area looks like a stick-figure bird (can you see it?). It's also bad when I smile so taking pictures is hard. Why and what can be done? A build up of nose bone?
