Lumps and Hard spots along jawline after Mini Facelift, curious if this is all normal? (photo)

Some contour irregularities may exist for several weeks after a facelift. As long as the trend is favorable I think you have nothing to worry about.

Based on your photograph I see nothing to be alarmed about.It is good that you feel very tight at 3 weeks because the skin always relaxes after a facelift and the longer you feel this tightness the less likely you are to have recurrence of sagging in your neck.Very minor irregularities are normal and usually can be resolved with gentle massage.However it is important that you see your plastic surgeon have him examine the lumps and be certain that there is no hematoma or other issue beneath the skin.

Congratulations on getting a facelift!It is perfectly normal to have some areas of hardness and small lumps 3 weeks after a facelift.  At this stage of healing I recommend to my patients using warm compresses and gentle massage of the area.  Once everything heals you should expect the skin to be perfectly smooth.Best wishes!Dr. Konstantin
