Is this neck trauma normal 2 years after a neck lift? Is there a procedure to help reduce this? (photos)

doddy1May 17, 2022
I had a lower Face and neck lift 2yrs ago. I cannot go out without heavy concealer due to the extreme neck and partial face trama. It looks like I have been strangled with the redness and dark bruise areas. My surgeon said its normal and will go away. It has not changed after two years. It there a procedure to help reduce this?
