Pockets of pus after facelift

It is not usual to have collections of pus in the neck after a facelift. Perhaps you had a small hematoma or seroma instead. Keep in close contact with your surgeon.

If there is an infection, it needs to be treated. You need to discuss this with your plastic surgeon and be examined. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

See surgeon..

Knots draining blood and pus after facelift is unusual. Assuming you have been placed on antibiotics, I would suggest you see you surgeon frequently to manage these issues.

Knots and pockets are absolutely not normal after facelift.

Hi. What does your plastic surgeon say? You should be seeing her or him every few days,and perhaps you should get another opinion.

Fluid collections in the neck after surgery.

Patients may get seromas in their neck after surgery but having pus in your neck is not normal. Your surgeon should know about this, so proper treatment can be begun. With prompt care this unfortunate event should pass quickly.
