Does this look normal after 30 days. I know there is lumpiness and swelling that can last months but just would like opinions on my case. I am 30 days po from neck lift and tightening in the jowl area. Scars in front and behind ears not under chin. It looks great but still pretty swollen and uncomfortable with these lumps. Thank you in advance.
I am a middle age white male in good health. I am 2 weeks post op from a neck lift and I had the normal bruising and swelling in my neck which subsided within a week. All except for some lumpy spots under my chin which are still visible and hard to the touch. I don't have any pain or excessive tightness but I have those unsightly lumps and I also have very noticable ridges behind my ears. Is this normal, if not what type of follow up care should I pursue?
I have a skin ridge that developed 24 hours after my lower face lift. The surgeon states my skin fell over onto itself and stuck together The ridge runs from my low neck to behind my right ear. About 4 inches long and a quarter inch thick. I am 59 and had a bad turkey neck. My surgeon has been practicing for over 35 years. His treatment is for me to massage the area twice a day above on and below the ridge. I am 2/1/2 weeks post op. Will the massage make this go away? It is so ugly.
The Jackson Pratt drains were in for a week and where the tubes were is now a ridge around the front of my neck. There is a little fluid but mostly it feels hard. It has been 2 weeks. Also my ears are completely numb and the cut under my chin is 2 inches long and red and raised. My neck is so tight that I cannot look up. I am terrified that I will have an ugly rope around my neck forever. My ps says it is not a scar but what is it?
