From the very first week, I have had a huge swelling under my right eye, even though I didn't have anything done on my eyes. I am 7 weeks post surgery, and still have the swelling and slight bruise. Is this normal? And will it go away? And, no, I'm not going to contact my surgeon because he is out of the country; and emailing him has been futile because his responses have not been very detailed.
7 weeks ago I had a minimally invasive lower face, jowls and neck lift. According to my doctor's website: 'The Lift is technically a simple procedure to perform, looping sutures at one end and tying them at the other.' I have large hard, numb swellings behind my ears with bruised appearance. The area to the front of my ears is also still swollen and discolored. My doctor doesn't want to see me for another 5 weeks. I fail to see any improvement on a day to day basis. Advice please.
I am 7 weeks post lower face/neck lift. The swelling is much better but I still have a bruise on one side of my face that just seems to never get better or go away? Is this normal? am a person with very fair skin that bruises easily so I knew I would bruise - it just seems to be in one major area that it isn't going away.
I had a lower face lift 9 weeks ago. One ear is still virtually, completely numb. I have feeling inside the ear, near and around the entrance to the canal - but none on the lobe or sides or top of the ear. At the very top of the lobe, where it connects to the opening of the ear area, I have a very slight sensation in a tiny spot. I am concerned about permanent nerve damage. The other ear has regained at least 80% sensation. What should I expect?
Had lower facelift & neck lift surgery on Oct. 19 by board certified plastic surgeon. Right side of face is sore & bumpy- looks deformed. Surgeon has assured me the bumps will go away with aggressive massage but I see no improvement in two months since surgery. He said it was stitching hung up. Bumps are ugly & sore.
