two weeks post op facelift and neck lift. Is it possible I may have a mild infection in this incision, and will washing with hibiclens and applying neosporin help? I have another appointment with my PS next week.
Answer: Healing Post Facelift Thank you for your question. This is not uncommon. During the early healing period you could develop an infection, or have a reaction to some of sutures used in a facelift. Keeping the area clean and an oral antibiotic can help. A topical solution like Microcyn kills bacteria better than Hibiclens. It takes a full year or more for the subtle healing to occur. Follow your surgeons regime. They want a nice result as well.

Answer: Open wound behind the ear after facelift is not infection. The incision behind the ear appears to be open and not really infected. This is something that should be brought to the attention of your plastic surgeon. He will instruct you in management until the problem resolved.

Answer: It looks like you have some inflammation around the scar after your facelift. It does not look infected, but that is difficult to judge from a photo. It may just be some inflammation in the scar as it is healing, with slow healing. You should ask to see your PS this week as they can help you get this healing better.

Answer: Always contact your surgeon with concerns of infection If you are concerned about anything, it is always best to contact your surgeon or surgeon's representative (nurse, assistant) as soon as possible. Although you may not have an infection, if you do, catching it early on is of great importance and will allow your surgeon to manage it quickly and effectively.
