I'm 2 weeks post op from a neck lower face lift. When can I get my hair colored? I had two hematoma one after the drainage tube was pulled out it hit a vein the second was in my neck after the second week. My surgeon drained that. Now I have uneven swelling on one side with dark bruises. I'm going on a trip at Christmas, well this look better? I'm very worried it'll look the same as it does now.
Im two weeks post op neck and lower face lift. My doctor is out of town so I was looking for advice. I had a sneeze attack and now I have pain and swelling down my neck and one area hurts pretty bad and is protruding. Can you please tell me if its possible I pulled the muscles up or compromised the result of the surgery from sneezing or is this just swelling? Please advise as Im very nervous by this.
I'm in my second week of recovering from a face/ neck surgery, and Ive noticed a hole or indentation in the left side of my neck in the throat area. I also see 2 small incisions that my Dr did in that area. I have 2 more scars on my ears and scalp I do not have any incision in my chin area like others have. Is this normal? It is going to go away? I am very scared.
Today marks Week 2 since my lower facelift and neck lift. The swelling has gone down significantly in two weeks, but as the swelling went down, these ridges have surfaced. My surgeon said I need to wait for the skin to re-attach itself. Does that sound right?
I had a lower face lift (with fat transfer) and a neck lift 15 days ago. I've healed well and look good, but when I try to smile I just look freaky. My mouth still doesn't open fully and my speech is slightly slurred, but I can eat and drink reasonably well and have no pain. I was expecting tightness and swelling, but not this smiling issue. Is this all normal and will it resolve in time?
I had a lower facelift and tightening of underlying fascia and muscle on April 15. My doctor removed a small amount of fat under my chin using scissors. The stitches were removed on April 28, at which time I was told to wear a chinstrap. My neck has minimal bruising and swelling. I don't understand what the point is to start wearing a chinstrap two weeks after surgery. Thank you for your opinions.
2 weeks ago, I had a lower facelift and platysma corset neck tightening using smas techniques. the surgery took over 4 hours. I have had minimal bruising and an easy recovery. However, on one side there is a visible jowl but not on the other side, which makes the contour of my jawline very uneven. I realise there is still more swelling to go down, but i cannot see it rectifying at this stage . How could this have happened? Is it possible to make measurement errors during surgery.
Hi, I have had lower facelift 15 days ago. The problem now is the disfigurement of lower lip, it goes too much on right side and becomes very lopsided. It doesnt look bad when i am not talking/eating but it becomes severly lopsided when i say certain words, like 'deformed, hope, want, do, not, no etc' or eat or lick the finger etc. it looks very bad, my face seems asymmetrical as well, with right side seems more firmer than the left side. doctor said there is no nerve damage?
