i am now 5 weeks after my operation and have had a 2nd opinion from my doctor regarding lump on side of neck ,, he says its a hematoma, and will go away by itself. the first doctor i seen says it was (just the healing process) but will gradually go away by itself .. is this possible ?? the lump is not hot now but a little uncomfortable ,,, my jawline has really improved with the lift . i had operation done in prague so cant go and see my surgeon although have emailed and they say i look fine xx

Answer: Facelift post-operative lump Hmmm. A hematoma at this time is not the usual and it sounds like you have differing opinions from two doctors. You can believe one or the other or you can go for a tie-breaker with a new doctor. An experienced board certified plastic surgeon should be able to give you a definitive answer.

Answer: Massage post facelift Some patients develop lumps after facelifts, this is usual a collection of blood which during the first few days after surgery can be aspirated. If you are still finding lumps under the skin, I advise massaging the area regularly so that over time the fluid is disbanded and absorbed.

Answer: Lumps after facelift or necklift Some irregularities of the skin and soft tissue are not uncommon after a facelift in the early postoperative period. It takes many months, even a year or more in some cases, for all swelling to resolve completely. Small irregularities usually even out during this time, and can often be helped with a little gentle massage.
