4 weeks post op (neck, face and endoscopic brown lift) and very worried that my jawline has completely disappeared. It looks awful :( Also, deep incision scar under left earlobe that seems to have 'stretched'? What can I do? Can it be restitched? It's so obvious. Finally, there are deep indentations in my left cheek when I try to smile. They are very painful. Is this normal after this operation? Any HONEST feedback welcome please.
I am four weeks after a neck lift, with sutures under the chin and in front and behind the ears. While I am happy with the sharpened jawline, I have some concerns. now that the swelling is resolving there are some crepey vertical wrinkles developing on my neck. There are also ridges on my neck where the drains had been. Will these issues resolve?
I have bumps behind both ears in the crease after neck lift one month ago. It looks like it was skin that swelled around stitches and turned into skin balls...Will these shrink and go away or will I need a revision to have them removed?
I am 4 weeks post op neck lift surgery. I have lumps under my chin that my doc says should go away, but if not, at 6 weeks post op he may give me a cortisone shot in the area. My neck looked great last week and I was super excited, but this week I seem to be developing some deep horizontal lines that weren't there pre-op. Is this from the swelling under my chin? Will massage help? Will getting rid of the lumps help? I've been using warm compresses 3 times a day. HELP!
It's 5 weeks after neck lift surgery. I still have severe swelling and a long tube/roll of raised and rigid tissue at the adams apple level of my neck. My PS has treated this with steroid injections at 2 weeks and 5FU injection at 4 weeks. My PS has been vague as to the cause and I have been told it will eventually heal. I am skeptical. Do you have any thoughts on what might have happened?
I posted photos at 10 days post-op with concern about ropey swelling. I am now 4 weeks out. Photos are below. The ropey swelling has gone down some, but I still have lumpiness and now more puckering and mottling of the skin. Is this normal? I have been doing massage. I see my PS in 2 days. What should I ask him?
I am 4 weeks neck lift and lipo post-op. I have had a lump under chin for a few weeks. My PS advise me to apply hard massage to the area 3 times a day he said its scar tissue. I have done this and its Made no difference yet. Also some swelling along the jawline on one side. The swellings are not hot orRed. Im going back in 3 weeks to see my PS. Im just worried. Is this usual and if it will settle down with time. Any advise is appreciated.
How long will this take to heal? Are steroids along with massage the best path to treatment? I just had surgeon inject steroids into it. He said now it scar tissue.
I had a full face lift and neck lift with liposuction on my neck four weeks ago. Incisions on temples and around my ears. I have an indention under my chin and soft line of raised skin on right side. Left side has lump and raised up skin that feels soft. I would appreciate your medical opinion/advise. This can't be normal!!
