Had a neck lift 9 days ago and the drain was removed day 4. I noticed last few days that I have some fluid build up where drain was, my doctor said to massage area gently. He didnt seem concerned. I started massaging yesterday and I feel like there is a little more fluid visible today. Is this normal? Any feedback would be appreciated. TIA
Hematoma occurred later in day. Re-operated on, with extensive cauterization on cheek & neck. Hematoma originated in neck. Then re-sewn. Still have AWFUL looking bumps/long line that are firm yet slighlty soft. Originally thought to be seroma but no fluid emerged after aspiration. Then told it was the muscle from being pulled tight. 2nd in person opinion stated due to cauterization and said DONT TOUCH, and will go away after 3 months. Online doctors said to massage. WORRIED! Will it go? When?
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.
My surgeon went under my chin to remove some subcutaneous fat. The next day I had swelling under the chin with fluid so he removed the fluid and the next day he removed a tiny bit more. 3 days later he looked under my chin and said he was not expecting the results of what he saw and neither was I. Now I have a fairly large lumpy area under my chin which is very noticeable . I will see him again in the next 5 days. What can I expect from this?
I Had a Neck Lift 9 Weeks Ago and I Have Fluid Collecting Under my Neck. 7 days out I had fluid collecting on the right side of my neck. 2 weeks later I had surgery to correct overactive salivary gland. 3 weeks ago I had hepatitis from the antibiotics I was on for 6 weeks. Now, 9 weeks out, I have fluid collecting under my chin and down the front of my neck. This fluid is drawn out by syringe and is clear. I think my surgeon is baffled by complications this far out. I'm not sure he knows what to do next. What should I do and is this normal?
