I had a NL 3 weeks ago, I know it is still early on in recovery. My neck has more wrinkles than before in the middle and under the chin near the throat. It is crepey and loose. My neck looks 60 instead of 48. I was hoping that it would be tight and refreshed, but it is not. I am still quite swollen under the chin. Is this wrinkling normal? Will it get better? will I have another surgery? I did not have a FL, no incisions behind the ears, only incision under chin. Platysma bands tightened.
I am a 44yr old woman who had a lower face and neck lift surgery 6 months ago. Straight after surgery my right ear felt as though it was being pulled from the top of the ear which I commented on at the time. I understand healing takes time, however my ear is still quite uncomfortable with a feeling of my ear being pulled down and forward and my inner ear feels swollen. If I turn my head to the left, I also have a tugging from the corner of my mouth across my jaw line and a raised ?tendon?
I am 52 years old had a neck lift and liposuction under my chin six weeks ago. Feel better thankfully but still have lumpiness/bumpy and swollen under chin and jawline area- I still have the tight and tingle feelings at times also, is this normal and just takes a few months to subside and get back to normal? My surgeon is Great maybe Im just inpatient.
I had a neck sculpting on September 5th of this year. I went back to my doctor today because I noticed that I am more swollen now than I was 4 weeks ago. My doc said I had developed some scar tissue in my neck, so he injected me with mixture steroids and chemo to break up scar the scar tissue. Then they did some ultra sound at the site. I had never heard of the chemo/steroid mix, what is the success rate for this? Am I apt to keep developing more scar tissue? How long before it will go away?
I had a platysmaplasty approx 2 years ago. Shortly after the surgery, my submandibular glands are very noticeable and take much away from the results of the procedure. Now I am having a face and neck lift and want to have my glands removed in hopes of achieving the best result possible. My PS agrees that the glands are slightly swollen and will remove them for optimal results, but I'm not sure if I should, not just due to the surgical risks, but long term as well.
Do you think my neck will ever look normal? I am so uncomfortable. My neck is so tight snd can barely look up. My PS just keeps saying be patient. I have had five lymphatic drainage massages..
I had platysmaplasty and lip a month ago and had no swelling at first. Now four days ago the muscle under my jaw, riright underneath the jowl is bulging and swollen. My Dr says it has to just be swelling. Could it also be platysmaplasty relapse or a swollen lymph node or gland? -How will I know and how long should it take to subside if its a lypmph node or just a swollen muscle? Is there anyway to determine this? I also had a cold and wound breakdown on my chin incision.
It has been 2 weeks since my neck lift . 2 days ago I developed a swollen and very painful gland on my right side on the jaw line . My ps is out of town and his nurse says she doesn't think this is related to the surgery , to see my primary dr . This is the most pain I have had during recovery . Is this common ? Thanks for any help . I feel kinda dumb going to the dr and telling him it hurts right under the incision .
