Had a necklift and lower facelift revision four weeks ago exactly. Am very concerned about the way my necklift scar is healing (the scars around my ears are absolutely fine). Big bumps at either end of the scar (dog ears?) which are visible below the line of my jaw when looked at straight on. Cannot get to see my doctor until 22 March. Nurse from the surgery says the bumps are perfectly normal and will subside, and approved my massaging them with Bio Oil. Please tell me: am I right to be concerned?
Docs want more detail on procedures. Same NY dr performed all procedures. 1) 3-21 - submental lipo left bands, dents 2) 5-22 - platysmaplasty / fat grafting to correct dents and bands. One incision under chin, no ear incisions. Neck skin lifted broadly but no skin removed. Not sure if platysma pulled laterally - was sutured on midline, may have also been fixated along jawline (vs mastoid) - not sure but had jaw bumps that I think were sutures. Face is young. No facelift done- work on neck only
First I want to preface this by saying that I reached out to my surgeon to get these questions answered and he has not responded to me in over 3 weeks. I am experiencing continued discoloration on my neck I want to know how long that will last and what I can do about it. I am also experiencing ridges (as pictured) on the right side again what are they, what can be done about them and how long will it last. Lastly. I still have a double chin. The base of my chin still sags. Why.
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?
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.
The day of the facelift I developed a hematoma. The facelift was reopened to relieve the hematoma and then sewn up a 2nd time. 3 weeks post op, the good side looks fantastic! The hematoma side has 2 large bumps and a long string like bump below. These exist below the cheekbone and look awful. It looks worse than photo. Thought it was a seroma but via needle aspiration little if any fluid emerged. Will these go away? When? No changes in 5 days. Very concerned. Also, vision is now very blurred.
I hate the way my skin looks on my neck and dcolletage. It has a chronic reddened appearance and there are bumps all over it. It is also saggy looking compared my face. What can I do to improve the appearance of my neck and dcolletage?
After having neck surgery to remove my waddle, I had problems with blood pooling under my chin so the drain was reinserted. The swelling has gone down but I still have ugly knots and rope-like scars under my chin. I've had multiple needle aspirations to help drain fluid and steroid shots. I am 4 months post op now without significant improvement. What is the problem? There was no incision at affected site. What is the prognosis for improvement? What treatment is recommended?
